Remind's me of this Calvin and Hobbes comic strip:
Calvin asks his dad: "Where do babies come from?"
Dad answers: "Oh most people just buy the kit at Sears and assemble them back home."
Calvin goes wide-eyed: "I came from Sears?!"
Dad says: "Oh no, YOU were a blue light special at K-Mart. Half the price, but almost just as good."
I'll be using a slight modification of that when I have kids.
I remember a conversation I had with my folks about where babies come from, when I was about 6. They said that when a woman gets married, she gets pregnant. I wasnt buying it, and said that it didnt make sense, how could a ceremony make somebody pregnant. I kept asking them questions about what exactly happens during the ceremony that impregnates a woman. Finally, they gave up and ended the conversation. Later that day, my older sister told me where babies really come from, and I laughed, thinking that she was kidding around. I thought it was the stupidest thing I ever heard
My parents told me some bs about how it automatically happens and all that. I was not satisfied since I saw people all around me for whom it doesn't happen!
Then I ferretted out the the truth from my cousins girl friend. She was 14-15 years old then and I was about 8 or 9.
I remember what my first reaction was. "Ewww! Blech! They do that! I am NEVER going to do that!"
