Explaining Birth to my 6 Year Old Boy

Tayshaun: so how did Bryton's baby come out of her stomach?

Me: ummmmm, wellllll ummmm...

Tayshaun: Mom, I already know how. Babies either get cut out of their mom's belly or they come out of their mom's butt.

Me: (laughing) welllll, not exactly. ummmmmm...I think we need to go to the library so we can read about it.

Tayshaun: why can't you just tell me Mom?

Me: (ignoring Tayshaun)Tayshaun: Moooomm, come on, just tell me.
Me: oh, were you still talking to me. Well, ummmmmm. Babies dont' come out of their Mom's bum; that would be poop, Babe.

Tayshaun: ok. So?
Me: well, ummmmm....Ok, Tayshaun, so they come out from where Mom's pee.

Tayshaun: oooohhhh. well, that explains why I have two holes.


He's obviously that he'sstill confused but we'll leave it at that.
Something tells me that I didn't do a very good job of explaining. I just wasn't prepared.
