A conversation i didn't expect to have with my son at 3 and a half.

The other night during bath, Conor and i had a conversation which started off with a question about how girls pee, because they don’t have penises. After getting through that one, he then hit me with a ‘where do babies come from’ question. As my brain slowly melted, i tried to figure out how to make it high-level enough to answer his question without getting into non-age appropriate stuff. We talked about how they grow in women’s bellies, not their stomachs, and that women have a special place to grow babies in, the uterus, which men don’t have. Next was wondering about how they got out. Finally, how they go in. At first i seized up, but then i realized there was a simple answer - “they just grow there”, which was enough for him. You just NEVER KNOW what they are going to ask you. Be prepared! (i have no idea how you could ever be prepared for all the things you are going to be asked, but i felt that i needed to get this warning out)
