Wen posted The Day Has Come with regards to her children asking her how they were made.
My children asked me the same thing. Mummy, how was I made? They asked that when we talked about things before they were born. How did I tackle this question? I told them they were swimming inside my body. Swimming until it was time for them to become a baby. They were excited because they like swimming (or playing with water)
Tim: I come out of your body and I do what?
Mummy: Doc whacked your buttock and you cry.
Tim: Why doctor whacked me?
Mummy: When you cry, you can breathe.
Emily: Mummy, when I was in your body, I eat ice-cream when you eat ice-cream?
Mummy: Yes, when I eat, you eat.
Emily trying to be cute: Mummy, when you eat chips, I swim in your body and catch the chips. Then I go munch munch munch…
Mummy: 
& 
Anyway a good way to explain to them is to show them pictures. Pictures paint a thousand words. I wonder what I will say when they start to ask about the birds and the bees.

Emily’s so imaginative - swam to catch the chips and even ate ice-cream. Her mind’s only on food. Hahaha!
Des has yet to ask me how she was made but she did ask me about the scar below my tummy and I told her there was where the doctor ‘cut’ mommy and she came out from there. She had this expression “Ooooo, must be very painful and lots of blood lor”. I just nodded my head cos I don’t know what happened, I told the doc ‘to make me unconscious’ dat time (heehee).

Emily is very smart, I like the part where she swam and caught chips to eat.
