This evening we were driving to visit Ryan at work, out of the blue Jack asked, "mom how do babies get out of mommies tummies?"
me - "well... mom's have a special hole in their bodies and that's where they come out."
jack - "i know that already mom - where's the hole? that's what i'm wondering."
me - hesitant to get into the details, but remembering that i always want to be honest with my kids, "well... it's actually down by their bums. what made you think of babies?" (wanting to ward off any more specific questions, but not change the subject too drastically)
jack - "oh i'm just thinkin 'bout stuff back here."
which he absolutely does - he asks some of the greatest questions and says some really smart, entertaining, original things - i love his mind
