Birds and Bees and Nests

Scott Hanselman — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 22:47:37 GMT

After the arrival of our second baby we explained some of the basics of where babies come from to our two year old - his interpretation: "Daddy put a nest in Mummy then a baby came out".

Also, when naked he now points to his private parts and announces "this makes babies in girls". Maybe we should have just used the stork story.

Now serving number 6!

Scott Hanselman — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 08:00:34 GMT

Esther, Age 6 (at the zoo)

Esther: Dad, can we buy one of those birds?
Dad: No, the zoo animals aren't for sale.
Esther: Then why do they have tags on their legs? (thinks) Oh, I know - so when they feed them, they can call out "Now serving number 6... now serving number 7..."
