Hellobee Boards

My best friend's 4 year old daughter asked me how I got a baby in my tummy. My BFF answered "Auntie and Uncle love each other soooo much that God blessed them with a baby!" Then her daughter said "Well, I love Daddy sooooo much too. Will I have a baby?" uhhhh... that explanation didn't over too well...

Somehow I just knew... not sure how.

@BoogieBea: Haha, did you believe her??

The answer I got was that they came out of belly buttons!

I never asked. My parents never told me anything about sex, like ever. And my school taught abstinence only. I'm amazed I wasn't a teen mom.

Kind of off topic, but kind of not: on Father's Day we were visiting with my in-laws, and my BIL, SIL and two nephews (8 and 5) were there. My SIL and BIL had been talking to the 5 year old about me having a baby, and so when he ran up to hug me, SIL told him "Remember to be gentle because Auntie Sarah has a baby in her tummy!" and poor Caden puts his hands on my stomach, looks up at me with wide, confused, slightly accusing eyes and asks "Why did you eat it???"

Which of course made perfect sense to him to ask, since when he eats food it goes to his tummy, so I must have had to eat the baby for it to get into my tummy...it was so unexpected I couldn't react but to laugh, though.

@Rubies: Yeah, and for the rest of the visit was telling the rest of the family that I ate the baby....my brother told me I should have told him I only ate it because I wasn't hungry enough to eat him. My SIL was mortified, but I'm still laughing about it, and probably will be for years. It's going in the baby book somewhere.

I don't remember ever asking.

@FutureMrsMcK: hahaha that is so cute!!

I never asked and I never got the talk either. I just knew.

I thought that a man and a woman just had to lay in the same bed. Then my cousin told me the details. I told my parents she was lying. They told my sisters to go upstairs. Then they explained it as a "special hug." I was like, that is NOT a hug!

I was around 4 and asked. My mom gave me the clinical explaination (no special hugs or anything). I remember being so grossed out. Also, there was definitely a time in elementary school where I was sure she had lied to me and that couldn't have been the truth.

Dont remember asking, but I do remember believing that if a married couple went to sleep next to each other and wanted a baby, they got one.

Oh how simple a child's mind is!

@Boogs: me too!

I don't remember asking or how I learned. I'm a 90's kid, so probably TV.

I've always told my niece that daddies give mommies a shot of special juice when they're ready for a baby, and then the baby grows. This isn't completely a lie!
