The other day Boy asked where babies come from. Or rather, how exactly mummies and daddies made babies.
I searched my brain for an adequate response....
Well, an egg from mummy and a sperm from daddy mix together inside mummy and make a baby that grows inside mummy.
This was apparently an acceptable answer.
It turns out that Daddy and Boy had covered this recently during their bedtime reading. Boy's favourite book is a biology textbook known as The Great Big Animal Book.
Then, the next morning I overhead this...
Daddy, why haven't I seen you and Mummy making babies?
Errrr, huh? [stalling for time]
I mean.... how long does it take to make a baby?
Oh. A long time [phew!]
