"Where do babies come from?"
While shopping for the baby yesterday.
Bridgey: "Mom, how did Spot get in your tummy?"
Mom: "Heavenly Father." (we've been over this.)
Bridgey: "Yeah, and you have to be an adult and get married, but how does the baby get there?" (it's like he knows I'm keeping something from him)
Mom: "Well, the Mommy and Daddy ask Heavenly Father for a baby, and then Heavenly Father sends a baby to the mommy's tummy."
Bridge: "Oh, ok."
Mom: "Phew." (cue: laughter from surrounding shoppers)
Man, he's been interested in how this baby stuff works lately. How the baby comes out, and how he got there. I'm doing my best to satisfy his 4 year old curiosity, and maintain his innocence. Because when I asked these questions as a 6 year old I remember getting more than I bargained for. I've been grossed out ever since.

bahaha, that is adorable!! i remember asking my mom if having a baby hurt like skinning your knee. She replied "a little bit more than that". I guess it was something tangible I could relate to?! hahaha How long to go now steph? How are you feeling?
HAHAHAHA!!!! I love it! I remember asking my parents and got "more than I bargained for" too! Imagine learning about birds and bees and Santa in one day!
I should add I asked my parents in FIRST grade!
it must be the age! We've been having to a lot of beating around the bush with Claire too. Good luck :)
