Where babies come from ...

Before I drown in the seriousness of my home life last night, let me explain where my 7 year old son thought that babies came from.


"Mom, they do not come from hugging, or holding hands or even from eating watermelons and swallowing the seeds. You said they came from two people loving each other and getting jobs and getting married and buying a house, but that's not true either. They don't come from the stork, and they don't come from the hospital doctors."

"Well. You've confused me then kiddo. Where do babies come from?"

"They come from sleeping with the lights off, mother."

*I always love his tone and his serious expressions.*

"Pretty sure that's wrong. I've been sleeping with the lights off for 26 years, and that would mean I'd have 26 kids by now."

"No mom, they come from sleeping with the lights off with boys and girls who are sleeping in the same bed."

"How do you figure that one?"

"Cause I'm a ninja mom. I know everything."
