I always thought that babies came from the stork.  Apparently, it’s a kiss on the mouth.

So we’re crammed in the doctor’s office the other day, because of course I like to save time by making the annual appointment for all four kids at once.  It is better than visiting the dreaded place four different times in a year.  The visit is going pretty good, at least after the finger pinch which I think has emotionally scarred Maggie for life.  And then it’s time for the pee sample.  My oldest gets to go on his own, what with him being 13 and all.  But the others…it’s safe to say they don’t shut the door at home, why bother taking turns now.  It’s not like they’re going to be able to ‘catch’ the specimen on their own anyway.   So while we’re in the bathroom and I’m trying to gauge their ‘aim’, the conversation turns to babies in bellies.

Maggie:

Ok I have no idea what Maggie said to start the conversation because frankly, I was kinda grossed out having to stick my hand halfway down the toilet to catch the piss.  But they did get my undivided attention when…

Logan:  No, that’s not how the babies get in the mom’s bellies!  It’s when the moms kiss the dads on the MOUTH.

Me:  Huh?

Logan:  When the mom and dad kiss on the mouth…that’s how babies get in bellies.

Me:  How did we get on this conversation and who told you this?

Logan:  Brady (little friend from school)

Me:  Oh yeah?  What were you guys talking about?

Turns out the whole thing was school yard talk and the preschoolers were debating on the issue.  Some said it happens when you get married,  some said God put you there, Brady said all it takes is a kiss.

I proceeded to tell them all that he is absolutely right and you would not believe how much it hurts for BOTH mom and dad once that baby is ready to come out.

Worse than a finger pinch?  I think yes.

So, do we rule out kissing boys forever? Definitely!
