Upon tucking the girls into bed the other night I was asked, "Mommy, how did I get out of your body?"
Believing honesty is the best approach I looked Abby in the eyes as I stood next to her bed, spread my legs shoulder-width apart and pointed straight up at my crotch, "You came out through there. Good night!"
I should have known the subject would resurface. This morning Abby inquired, "Mommy, how do you make babies?"
Hmmmmmm. Should I give her the long, detailed version or the abbreviated one? Opting for the explanation she could handle, I replied, "You make babies with a lot of love."
She nodded her head, then replied, "And blood."
"I guess you could say that...."
