::whew:: I dodged a parenting bullet

Today, seemingly out of nowhere, Drama King dropped the bomb...you know this one:

Mom, how do babies get in the mom's stomach?

Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh

Finally after I picked my mouth up off the floor and reminded myself that he is 8 going on 30. I knew I had to answer him so I dropped this little pearl of wisdom on him:

"Ya know, kiddo, It's really really gross and it's going to make you wanna throw up. So how about if we talk about it when you get a little older."

"How gross is it, mom? Like booger and fart gross? Or blood and guts and ax murderer gross?"

"Grosser than ax murderer."

"Ewwwwwww, guess it's a good thing I don't want a wife huh? I'll just live with you and Dad forever"

Not exactly how I pictured the first birds and bees conversation that's for sure!
