I nearly fell of my chair with laughter when I read this article in the Times Online about the hilarious ideas kids have about where babies come from.
Included are gems like this one from Angus who's 5 years old:
"Babies come from the mummy and daddy. Inside the mummy's tummy, they go zoom - the two things. Whoever wins the race goes wuvavoovavoov, mixed up with the egg and then out pops the baby. Which one won the race? Did I win the race? Do they have eyes? I won't have any children. I don't want to put my willy in that secret hole."
I'm in tears as I type - "They go zoom"?
Little 6 year old Frederica reckons that babies "start like an egg. I'm not sure how the egg gets there to begin with. I think it comes from food. You eat lots of food, very healthy food, and that makes the egg. But you do have to eat very healthy food, even like 18 broccolis a week."
Niece Senior is now a big girl having started school last week, she also turns 5 in December. I wait with baited breath at to what gems she comes out with on this particular topic...

I love their little gems.
Mind you they can also be dreadful. J (who is 3 years older than S) told her that she was born without lungs. She came howling to me asking if it was true and I told her that if she didn't have lungs she wouldn't be able to make such a noise. She found that funny. He's also told her she was born without a heart, but she knew to check with me first before getting upset about that one.
Kids are such rotters to eat other aren't they? Endless entertaining if not testing you to the limit.
18 broccolis a week.
I love that! Just so sweet:-)
I don't know about "Out of the Mouths of Babes".
I splurted coffee all over my screen when I read Angus's take on things.
What Lane said. That's even more broccolis than me. And I do like my broccolis.
Pat - kids seem a bit more advanced these days. Dread to think what Angus is going to be up to in another ten years' time...!!
Zinnia - I love trees as Niece Senior calls them too.
Thanks for that link ~ priceless!!
"Do they have eyes?" ~ LOL!!
Kate - they're all hilarious aren't they?!
