I would say something like:

Moms and dads make babies together and then the baby gets ready to be born in mom's tummy. When it's ready it is born.

She might be asking you because her parents aren't talking about it with her yet. You can tell them that she asked, what you said, and let the parents fill out the details.

Keep it simple. If the questions keep coming, keep answering THAT question simply and honestly (you can be vague) and then let them stew it over. Or you can stop the questioning by asking HER how she thinks it happens. And then verify or not, depending on if she is right.

It doesn't need to be a lot of details, or any moral stuff, and don't make a big deal of it. You can always try to distract her if you get into rough territory with her questions.

"...out of her vagina...hey, want some popcorn?"

hahahaha!

the truth. Keep it simple, there is no need to over explain. She may not have been asking you to describe sex to her. When my 7 year old asked me I aswered "from mom's belly". That was good enough. It took her several more months for her to ask me How do babies get in a Mom's belly. to that I aswered "from Sex with a Daddy". That was all she needed. Do not be embarrasses or over technical, just be honest and answer only the question she asked. That is probably all she wants to know, right then anyway. Did she say if she had asked her folks before and got a was having trouble believing it or were you just lucky enough to be the person there when the question popped into her little mind? Whatever you tell her make sure her folks know she asked and would not object to your answers. The Birds and the Bees are not a tough subject unless you make it tough.

I personally believe that if if a child ask a straight out question like that then we should answer it truthfully. I may not go to all the details but I would be open with them and not tell at "stork" story. I also may contact her parents to see how they feel on the subject first, just to make sure that you don't say somethng that they don't approve of. If they are curious maybe get them a book made for children expalining the topic if you find it too uncomfortable to talk about fully and discuss the book after with them or read it together.

tough questions without more specifics about the family and their openness to ideas. Maybe the best answer is " That is a question for Mommy and Daddy to answer." It sounds like a dodge, but actually it is the truth. Talk to her parents and let them know their daughter is curious. But you may be stepping out of bounds by going into this subject. Of course you can always answer, "love, that is where baby's come from." But protect yourself in this situation.

Call her parents, ask them if they mind you telling your neice. If they think it's fine, tell her the truth.

I'd put it off nicely by saying "Well honey, I think your Mom knows the best answer to that question. Ask her tomorrow when she brings you home ." Then call sis and tell her what went down--it's really her place to handle this matter.

Tell her that's something she should ask her mommy and her daddy and then change the subject. She's a kid. Offer her ice cream or something. It's not for you to tell a kid the facts of life if he or she has responsible parents.

i could tell her that till her behaviour stops and he or she apologises she isnt coming around to the flat anymore. Invite her out to places like consistent with probability flow to Pizza Hut, flow swimming jointly and so on so which you nonetheless her time jointly...once you're out consistent with probability you're able to have a delightful chat approximately whats happening... She's your niece not your daughter so dont sense to blame approximately not having her over-she needs to earnings understand and once you're nonetheless letting her take over your flat then she's not getting to grasp that!

Tell her it's something you should ask your mommy or daddy. I think questions like that are best left for their guardians to answer because they are the ones faced with consequences for her future.
