Me: ...I've been seeing these little people running around and wanted to ask you where babies come from? We never had the talk.
Mom: I told you when you were a little boy they come from heaven.
Me: I don't believe you. I've seen them and if they fell from that height they would be much flatter.
Mom: *Laughs* I didn't say they fall *Laughs*
Me: Babies don't have wings...
Real conversation with mother. (Sometimes in the last two months)
Lucky we don't live in an age where we actually depend on our parents for information. From TV, internet and public education I think I have it figured out but am fuzzy on some of the finer details... something about bees, cabbage patches and a stork walk into a bar and 9 months later = baby, right?
I sometimes I wonder if my sister's were told the same thing and were shocked when they had their first kid and the doctor explained the real story...
I've never got a straight answer from my mom in 38 years, I guess since my sister's had so many kids she is at her grandchildren capacity. For now she and I are both playing dumb for the sake of making our lives easier.
