Dear Ann Landers: My five-year old asked me tonight how I got a baby. I don’t think I handled it well.
Christian: Mom, how do you get a baby?
Me: What do you mean?
Christian: You know, how did you get me inside your tummy when I was a baby?
Me: Well, it’s like a seed. You, know. A seed.
Christian: Like a garden seed?
Me: Exactly.
Christian: What does it look like, what kind of seed?
Me: Well, like a seed. . .that looks like a Goober.
Christian: Like the candy Goober?
Me: Exactly
Me: I think I hear my phone ringing.
Christian: OK, thanks mom. Really a Goober?
Me: (No longer in the room)

I just wrote a blog on this subject. My answer: the Tooth Fairy put the baby in my tummy. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
