Ask The Expert: Where Do Babies Come From?

Emmit is OBSESSED with babies! He keeps saying we need another one (no comment). So, we've talked a lot about how babies get here, but didn't really think he paid that much attention. Apparently we were wrong.

This past weekend, we had another conversation about babies, and it went a little something like this:

Emmit: We need another baby!

{daddy swerves into oncoming traffic}

momma: Where would we get another baby?

Emmit: Out of your tummy!

momma: Well, there's no baby in my tummy!

Emmit: {rolls eyes} I know. We need to go to the baby center, and they'll put one in. And then it grows & grows. And then you go to the hospital & the doctor will take it out.

momma: Oh! Well, do you know how the doctor gets the baby out?

Emmit: Yeah. It comes out of your bagina.

{momma chokes & daddy swerves into oncoming traffic again}

momma: Oh, okay. {changes subject}

Flash forward to tonight & the subject gets back on babies. I ask if he wants a boy or girl, and he says a girl. Then I ask who has the baby...the momma or the daddy.

He doesn't even have to think about it. He says, "Mommas, silly!"

So, I ask, "Why can't daddy's have babies?", totally expecting to get a gross anatomy lesson.

He says, "Because daddy's have hair on their bellies and it's GROSS!"
