The question every parent dreads

Morris: “Mommy, I wonder where I came from.”

Me: “You came from my belly.”

Morris: “But how did I get in your belly?”

Me: “Um…”

He stares at me expectantly.

Me: “Um…

He continues to stare at me expectantly.

Me: Well, you were borne out of the love Daddy and I have for each other.”

Morris: “HUH?”

Me: “Your daddy and I loved each other and then, BAM! There you were.”

Morris: “How did I come out of your belly?”

Milo pulls up his shirt, examines his belly button. “Did his head just pop out and start looking around and you saw it and went, ‘Aaaaagh! There’s a head coming out of my belly!?'”

Me: “Something like that.”

Milo: “That would be so weird.”

"Weird" doesn't even begin to cover it. pal.
