Speechless

Last night Daniel came into the kitchen and totally caught me off guard. He said, "Mommy, how did the baby come out of your belly?" I thought, oh no, already? I can't believe my little boy is already asking these difficult questions! I paused, then said, "What?" b/c I had no other answer. He repeated the question. I said, "Ummmm, well the doctor took the baby out of my belly." That wasn't good enough. Daniel put his hands out like he was in a debate and said, "No, no, no, mommy...but how did the doctor get the baby out of your belly?" Uhhhhh. Gosh, I was speechless. I just basically repeated myself and said that the doctor used tools to get the baby out. He still wasn't buying it and asked again using the same motion with his hands. Cracked me up. Jason was right there next to us on the computer and looked back at me and had no answer either. Luckily when Daniel approached me I was writing some appointments in our personalized picture calendar. He saw a picture of himself which distracted him and he started talking about the lollipop that he was holding in the photo. Whew, I'll have to prepare some better answers for next time. I am not too quick with making up creative answers for curious minds!
