The Poo: Mommy, how do doggies have puppies?
Mommy: Ummmm …
The Poo: Do they grow them in their bellies?
Mommy: Yes! Yes, they do, just like humans.
The Poo: But how do they get them out?
Mommy: *blink blink*
The Poo: Oh! I know. They spit them out!
Mommy: Yes! Yes, they do.

Its all good-I wouldn’t be ready for that conversation myself.
Domestic Extraordinaire’s last blog post..Sixteen things
Good call!
And that photo is absolutely priceless.
Heather’s last blog post..It’s a Poem, No, It’s a Nursery Rhyme-No, Ah, Just Read It
I think she’s right. Peristalsis works in mysterious ways … No reason to think you were visiting Fibber Island. Nope.
Exactly.
Love that photo!!
MammaLoves’s last blog post..Dear Small People in My Bed
Yeah, close enough…
Assertagirl’s last blog post..Oh, right, the kitchen…
Well reasoned and prepared answer! We may as well just accept now that we will never be ready for those questions and no matter what we “plan” to say, there is no telling what will fall out of our mouths when the dreaded questions come flying at us when we least expect it!
Shannon’s last blog post..Fun Fridays
What you mean they don’t?
Don Mills DIva’s last blog post..A Christmas gift in June
soooo sweet.
Aimee Greeblemonkey’s last blog post..Missing the Clique
I don’t think there’s a white lie there. Nope. Spit them out is rather accurate if you ask me. LOL
sam {temptingmama}’s last blog post..Hey Momversation: Let’s Talk About REAL Working Moms For a Second
ha! perfect!
ali’s last blog post..TADA…we’re going to eat gas!
Haha! Awe too cute. My Mother was a nurse and gave me an age appropriate book about the birds and the bees when I was four. I also grew up with alot of livestock around and saw the making of puppies and such.
It’s good to read your blog again. My computer crashed…>_<
That picture is magical.
Clink’s last blog post..eighteen.
Sam has been asking a lot of questions about the baby in my belly. All of them except how the baby is going to get out. I’m still trying to plan my response.
That photo is amazing.
Oh I hope that works for you! Jack Jack already told me that I “pooped” him out when he was born. WAW!
inthefastlane’s last blog post..So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
Oh, I love this!
And that picture is gorgeous. LOVE.
Dana’s last blog post..20 Weeks and All Is Well, So Far…
When my children ask me a question I’m not prepared to answer, I always say, “Hmm… that’s an interesting question. What do YOU think the answer is?” Right now, my twins are having their toy horses and dogs lay eggs. Guess I need to step it up a notch.
That photo needs poster sized enlargement and a frame!
LOVE that photo. Priceless. Beautiful.
I think I should have taken your lead. I made the mistake of telling Zoe (age 3) that her baby sister would be born “through the birth canal” which I later admitted would include coming out my vagina. That bit of anatomical information has now been shared with many friends and several strangers. Often at high volume.
