So since I had my ds 7 months ago, my 3 yr old dd has many questions. First it was the names of private parts, since she was saying he had a "little rabbit" down there I told her the proper names for each of their privates. Then she was trying to breastfeed her brother so.we talked about breasts and how she will grow them when she gets older so she can feed her babies, she finally stopped looking down her shirt to check after a week or two, lol. Then the other day she was asking about when I was pregnant with him and how he got out. I explained he grew in my belly until he was ready and then came out my vagina. So Im thinking shes about to ask about sex, and how he got in there... And instead she asks me if her pet guinea pig also came out of my vagina.
Anyone else got a funny one their kids asked about sex?
And I did let her know that the guinea pig was not birthed by me :)
You're like a fun vending machine! Let's hope she doesn't ask for a pony!
Oh so funny! Yes, I have found that the more matter of fact I am about it, the fewer questions he asks. I had a little boy about 7 mos ago. So my belly has been a topic of onversation for quite a while now. My first ds is almost three and he tells me that someday he's going back into my belly to visit and he's going to bring his cars and trucks with him. I told him I was sure that wasn't gonna happen and he says, "We'll see." hmph. Like he's three going on 13! This kid keeps me laughing!
My 4 year old told us his new baby sister was food before she was a baby. So, he assumed I had eaten a baby food or something and that is how she grew in my stomach. So funny!
Hah! That's so great - what a story to tell her when she's older.
My kids are really into body systems. Right now they are particularly interested in death, which is a more difficult topic for me to explain than is birth and includes less laughs.
They know about pregnancy, and that babies are grown in their birth mother's uterus and delivered via c-section (like my eldest), or via vagina (like my youngest).
They think it is hilarious, fascinating, and gross that babies are delivered from vaginas. Sometimes out of nowhere, my eldest will chirp, "Opal, you came out of mama's NANI (the nickname we use for the vulva, urethra, and vaginal area)!!!!" Then my youngest says, "Yup, it's whewee, whewee dawk in there!".
About three months after my second son was born, my three year old asked when his brother was going back in my tummy, and could he come out a girl next time.
Once, after looking very contemplatively at my breasts for a while, he asked how I get the chocolate in there to make chocolate milk!
And a super funny story from a friend of mine...but warning that some people may find it inappropriate... she was at her sister's house helping to get several kids ready for bed, along with a few other adults. One child came out of the bathroom with a box of tampons and says "Hey, what are these?" My friend's three year old son immediately pipes up "Oh, my mommy has those, she puts them in her butt!"
This question did not go the way I thought it was going. Too funny!
