Recently I had the "opportunity" to talk to my son about the birds and the bees. I was eating my dinner and Caleb was just sitting beside me and out of the blue, he just started this conversation...
Caleb: Mummy, where did Meimei come from?
Mummy: From my tummy...
Caleb: From your belly button right?
Mummy: No... my tummy...
Caleb: How did she come out of your tummy?
Mummy: I used a lot of strength and pushed her out...
Caleb: Out of your belly button???
Mummy: No... not my belly button... (hmm... this is getting tougher than I thought...) from a hole near the backside...
Caleb: Noooo... there's no hole near the backside! (he said it in this tone like I was bluffing him...)
Mummy: Haveee... You've got a hole near the backside where you poo poo right? And another hole where you pee right? Girls got one more hole for babies to come out...
Caleb: From the belly button???
Mummy: Nooo... Not from the belly button! (I'm thinking in my head... what's with the belly button!)
Caleb: Oh... Why?
Mummy:...well, you'll know when you grow up...
Caleb: oh...
And I decided it was enough for me for one night and I quickly proceeded to change the topic!
