A bizarre story I heard:
On the way home from school one afternoon a child asks, "Mommy, do babies come out of your butt?"
The mother figured she had 3 options:
1. Sarcasm= "Well, you are a pain in my butt sometimes....."
2. Truth= Go into the whole birds and the bees.
3. Hope= That the child forgets about the whole thing before there is a chance to answer.
But before she could decide, "Giraffe babies come out of their momma's butts," one of the other children said.
Finally the mother said, "Where do you get this stuff from? Giraffe babies don't come out of the momma giraffe's butt."
"Yes they do. I saw it in a video we watched at school." Was the child's answer.
And then a fight ensued between the children about who touched whom and what they were going to do about it. And the poor mother wondered, "Why can't my kids just think that babies are brought by the stork or that they come from the cabbage patch. Why, oh, why?"
That poor Mommy. I feel sorry for her. She has her hands full with those kids!
