One afternoon a little girl returned from school and
announced that her
friend had told her where babies come from.
Amused, her mother replied: "Really, sweetie, why
don't you tell me all
about it?"
The little girl explained: "Well ... OK ... the Mummy
and Daddy take off all
of their clothes, and the Daddy's thingee sort of
stands up, and then Mummy
puts it in her mouth, and then it sort of explodes,
and that's how you get
babies".
Her mum shook her head, leaned over to meet her, eye
to eye and said, "Oh,
Darling, that's sweet, but that's not how you get
babies. That's how you get
jewellery."
