Mommy, where do babies come from?

I was on the way to Tutor Time to drop my my 6 year old, Mikey. He says to me, "I can't wait until Matthew is a big brother."

I of course tell him it won't happen. (I am done having the babies.)

He says to me, "well, when he's older."

I explain that you have to have a younger brother or sister to be a big brother and that it's not going to happen.

He says, "well, what if one gets in your eye?"

A common expression in my family if something happened waaaay before the child was born is, "that happened before you were even a twinkle in my eye." As a result, this is where Mikey thinks children come from.

I again tell him that won't happen. He next question was priceless.....

"Mommy, is that where they crack the egg? In your eye?"

Out of the mouths of babes.
