I was watching a show with Ben, set in pioneer times. In the show there was a woman giving birth in the next room, and, though it was tastefully done, you could hear her cries of pain. I explained to Ben that it REALLY hurts to have a baby.
Ben then wants to know where the baby comes out of the mommy's body. In our house, we refer to all private body parts as "parts." (You know how technical we doctor's families can be.) So, I say, "From the mommy's parts."
Ben pats his chest and says, "Oh, that's why these are private parts on girls."
I laugh and say, "Actually, the baby doesn't come out of those parts. The baby comes out of . . . the lower parts."
Ben asks, "You mean where you pee??"
Figuring that is technical enough I answer, "Yup!"
Then, with a touch of awe in his voice, he points to the now delivered baby on the screen and says, "How did that big baby come out of that tiny little hole??!?"
I respond, "THAT'S WHY IT HURTS SOOOO MUCH!!!"
