Alden: "Mommy, how did the baby get into your belly?"
Me: "It wasn't always in my belly, it started growing in there."
Alden: "But how did it move in to your belly?"
[Carl and I look at each other, but then Carl tells me I'm on my
own since the question was directed at me first -- thanks, Carl.]
Me: "Well, daddy and I made the baby together and then it started growing in my belly."
Alden: "But how did you make the baby?"
[More looks. Still no help from Carl.]
Me: "Well... (awkward pause), daddy has a part of his body that fits into my body and that makes the baby. Just like when you were born, daddy and I made you together."
Alden: "But HOW does daddy's part fit into your body?"
[Carl, who looks like he is enjoying this immensely, offers no help whatsoever and tells me I'm on a roll.]
Me: "Well, he has a part that is made especially to fit. How about you finish your toast now?"
Alden: "Okay."
