The Birds and the Bees

May 30, 2012

Connor: I wish I had more watermelons in my teetee.
Me: Watermelons? Haha. Do you want me to tell you the scientific name for them? Testicles.
C: Testicles?!? Oh. What are they for?
Me: Umm, well, they are for when you get older.
C: Well, does that mean I have little brains in my teetee?!? I don't know what they are. I don't know if they are miniature peanuts in my teetee. I don't know if there are footballs in my teetee. I don't know if there are eggs in my teetee.
Me: Well, actually a mother has eggs in her body. I have eggs inside my body.
C: You mean you are a bird? That must be why I can fly and glide!
Me: (laughing) No, I am not a bird.
C: A reptile?
Me: Neither one.
C: Ohh, so a mom has eggs and then they hatch inside of her and a baby comes out.
Me: (still laughing) My eggs don't hatch into babies. When an egg is fertilized, it grows into a baby.
C: (laughing) I just don't understand what are you saying? Why can't you just agree with me that you are a bird? You are so crazy, Mom.
