I was telling a friend of mine, who has a daughter in Dylans class at school, that he had been asking about where babies come from. She told me that her daughter had been asking too and that she'd told her (arghghgh).
He seems far too young to need to know this stuff but I began to worry that by the time we got around to explaining it, all his friends would already know ... or that one of them would explain it to him badly, so I decided to buy him a book. A book that would explain all the details to him. A book that he could take to his room and read without embarassment and come and ask questions if he had any. This book.
Anyway, he disappeared off to his room & read it. A while later he came out saying that he'd read it, quite matter of factly, without embarassment. I said 'Oh good, so you understand now about the eggs and the seeds'?
'They're not seeds Mum, they're SPERMS!!'
(priceless)
