The four of us were in the grocery store when the following question echoed through the produce section, "Where do babies come from?"
Oh hell, I thought. This is not the right time for this conversation.
Actually, I don't have a clue when this conversation should take place. But I do know it only involves Zoey and her mother and does not take place in Piggly Wiggly. So I tried to move the conversation along.
"You already know where babies come from, Zoey. Do you want any grapes for snack this week?"
"I know I was in Mommy's belly. But how did I get out?"
"Do you want grapes for snack this week?"
"Did I come out her butt?"
As we tried to stifle our laughter, Ella said, "No, honey. You didn't come out of my butt."
Zoey looked confused. After a few seconds, she finally asked, "Then were did I hatch out of?"
We really need to sit down and have The Talk.
The Butt Egg
