This cartoon from The Ongoing Adventures of ASBO Jesus reminded me of a dinner conversation we had last week.
One of my kids asked how babies get out of the mom.
One of my other kids (who had obviously already thought this through) declared:
“It has to be from one of two places…”
This is where I was getting nervous…he continued…
“The belly button or the privates. Right?”
“Yes, from the privates,” I replied.
Smiles all around the table, a little biology lesson from a blushing/smirking mom, and then the conversation changed to another topic as if we had never even started talking about such a thing.

I never really decided if I thought it would be cool if they asked Kristie or I this question whilst we had them. I’m curious to know how the details of the blushing mothers answer; I’m still not certain how I would answer this question.

She said something like “when a mom is having a baby, her body changes so the baby can fit out. Isn’t that cool how God made us that way?”
The kids all agreed it was cool and that was the end of the conversation.
