Where do babies come from? 2

A few weeks ago our 5 year old triplets had a sudden interest in the topic, "Where do babies come from?"  I will briefly recap the previous post and then add the follow up.

It so happened that at this same time Audrey, their mom, recently read a parenting article that detailed a good way to tell the kids how babies are made and said that we are at a good age to begin the discussion. One dinner, Darcy one of the triplets most interested in figuring out this mystery again asked, "Where do babies come from?"

Using her "parenting article" as her resource, Audrey told the kids, "Mommy has eggs, like a chicken, and Daddy has sperm, and when the egg and sperm get together, the baby begins to grow".  Darcy frowned at Audrey and said, "no no no Mommy, I want to know where people babies come from".

Now a few weeks later Darcy is still struggling with the mystery of where babies come from.  Again at the dinner table, out of the blue she yells, " Do babies come from eating a lot of food, or what?"
