Entry for June 17, 2007

My nephew, the blue-eyed boy was being babysat by Mrs B the other morning. As they drove to Glasgow, he was in inquisitive mood:
BEB: Where do babies come from?
MRS B: Out of a mummy's tummy.
BEB: How does the baby get there?
MRS B: (VAGULEY REMEMBERING BOOKLET ENTITLED "EXPLAINING THE FACTS OF LIFE TO TODDLERS WHILE AVOIDING WORDS LIKE "SHAGGING", "PENIS" ETC.) Well, daddy gives mummy a seed. And then the seed grows into a baby in mummy's tummy.
(PREGNANT PAUSE)
BEB: Where does the seed come from?
MRS B: Oh look - I need to stop for petrol and there's a garage. Just in the nick of time.
