Last night my almost-seven-year-old asked one of those toughies. As we were getting ready for bed, he was going potty, and called me in to ask a question.
What are these two balls in here for again?
“God made those to help make babies when you grow up and get married,” I responded.
He had a bit of a puzzled look, probably because he knows that babies grow inside of their mommy’s tummy.
So those are the babies in there until I get married?
“No, they make part of the stuff that makes babies…”
Well, will it hurt when they take the stuff out of me?
(Barely able to hold myself together and not burst into laughter, I think “Hardly!…In fact, quite the opposite!”)
“No, it won’t. God made a special thing for married people to make babies. We’ll tell you more about it when you’re older.”
Agghhh! And this is just the beginning of these questions!
