Why is that lady so fat?? My son was about 4 and we were in a rest room in Burdines. I apologized to the woman, took my son but the hand, and explained to him, in private, that some questions hurt people's feelings, which isn't very nice, so some questions should be asked in private or not at all. I said the lady may take medicines, or things we don't know about, to make her weight to much.

Awkward is interior the attention of the beholder. no question asked by using a baby could ever receive an "i don't understand" or worse yet a lie as an answer except we want them to strengthen up as ignorant and incapable because of the fact the generations that preceded them. young toddlers want their international defined to them or perhaps a 2 year previous can technique solutions if presented to him in his very own language. whilst i became 5 and had to understand the place toddlers got here from, i might have been very much disenchanted if my mom had gotten all flustered and lied to me. What are we afraid of? That our toddlers might grow to be smarter than us? I easily desire they are!

When my son was three, he figured out that all boys have penises and all girls don't. So he quizzed me about every man he had ever met or heard of-Dad, Santa, Jesus, President Reagen, George Washington, Superman, everyone. This took a long time [ over an hour.]
Then he said,"But you don't have one? And Grandma doesn't? And my other Grandma? etc.and we did all the women in the world.
I thought we were all straightened out. Then we went to ToysRUs. In front of dozens of people, while there was a lull in conversation, he asked very loudly, "Does that man have a penis?"
Said man stopped and waited for my answer!
Trying to be miss educational mom, I said "I'm sure he does!"
The man nodded and walked away.

I'm 22 years old now, and when I was 3 -- as my mother told me a few months ago -- I asked her, while sitting in the backseat of the car, something to the effect of, "How would a person skin another person"? She said, "What do you mean"? And then I said, "You know, how would you cut the skin off"? She freaked out and told me to be quiet; she thought she had raised a future serial killer.

The best one i know was my sister (honest, i was a bump)
Said to my mum, by my big sis, aged 3 (in a loud voice)
"Mummy, Why is there a monkey up a ladder cleaning windows?"
Mums response - duck and run.
I should explain we grew up in a very small countryside village, and the only thing with colour she had ever seen was in a book / at the zoo.

We were in line at the grocery store and there was a black lady standing in front of us and my son pulled on her pant leg and said "Why are you brown?" I was BEYOND embarrassed and really didnt know what to say.... luckily the woman didnt take offense. She smiled, stooped down to his level and politely said, "Well, that is how God made me... just like your skin is white!" My son said, "I'm not white... I'm SKIN colored!!" LOL I chuckled as did the lady. We kind of left it at that, then my son a few minutes later said... "Well I think you are BEAUTIFUL!" I thought it was SOOO incredibly sweet and I dont think I had ever been prouder of him then at that moment!! It just warmed my heart and obviously the lady's too b/c she smiled really big and gave him a kiss on the cheek!! As she was leaving he said "Have a good day!" Such a sweetie!! Dont ya think!? LOL BTW he was 2 1/2 at the time!
OH!! And when my step son was 4 and we were expecting our first born (the one I talked about above) we were trying to get him ready to see me "breastfeed" the baby b/c we didnt want it to be awkward or a "shock" when he saw my boob and Caleb "attached" to it. So my husband thought it would be a good idea to give him a COW analogy!! Hmmm?! He said "You know how cows make milk and thier babies suck that milk when they are hungry?" Alex answered yes. "Well that is basically what your step mom is going to be doing.. feeding your new little brother milk like a cow does!" Then he pointed down to his penis and said... "So she's going to be feeding him with THAT!?!" HA HA HA HA HA!! Obviously he hadnt figured out the differance btwn a man and womans genitals yet and figured a cows udder looked like a penis!! LOL I think I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants that day!!

When my eldest daughter was just about 4 she casually asked how babies got into womens tummys. I tried to explain simply that mummy has an egg in har tummy and daddy has a seed in his and that when they get together, a baby starts to grow. She just shrugged her shoulders and said " Oh, ok". Phew I thought, got off lightly! But , oh no, after about 5 minutes, her face began to look puzzled and thoughtfull and then asked " Does the seed taste nice when it gets into your tummy?!" Well, girls, what can you say to that??!!!?? I still laugh today about it!

My daughter is almost 4yrs old and she asked me how a baby would get in my belly. (she asked for a baby brother or sister) this wouldn't have bothered me in the slightest but we were in a room full of relatives and no one knew we were trying for another baby! We stuck with the whole "stork" story.
