I’m watching cartoons this morning with you, still half-asleep and focusing more on my cereal than My Little Pony, until you throw out this question:
“Daddy, how do you make a person?”
– “huh? … can you be more specific?”
“How are people made..?”
– “umm.. you mean babies?”
“yes”
– “you want to know how babies are made?”
“yes!”
– (I’ve actually been preparing mentally for this question, just didn’t expect it to come so soon, and I will always be honest with her and never lie, but obviously there are limitations with explanations of complex topics to a 4 year old) “well, there is a certain way a man and a woman can physically interact that will result in the making of a baby.”
“oh ok. Thank you!”
– “That’s it? you understand?”
“Yep!”
Ok, that was much easier than anticipated. whew.
