Where Babies Come From

I have avoided explaining what nursing is to the three children I nanny... even though they always ask, "Why is your shirt like that?" or "Why is he under that blanket? It's hot." I've managed to mutter, "Because he's eating... and he likes it like this." I keep hoping that will work for a while. I don't like explaining things like that to other people's kids. So earlier today I was relieved when the seven year old took charge for me when the five year old asked a question.

"Are babies born through your belly button?" she asked.

Agitated at her obviously silly question her brother answered, "No! They're born out your tooshie!"

No wonder Tristan hurt so bad. I did it wrong.
