This is how the conversation went the other day. We were watching TV the other day when Siddharth says
Sid: ” Mummy, I know you had me inside your tummy. But how did I get there.”
Me: ” Well, actually there is a process which happens before you are put there (trying to be as evasive!).”
Sid: ” What is that process?”
Me: ” A process has to be on.”
Sid: ” How come I did not notice when the process was being done in Gautam’s case?”
My ears were burning and it was hard to keep a straight face. Gurdev was pointedly ignoring us concentrating on his TV offering me no help :).
I had to end it with a lame, ” You will not understand just now. You will know when you are older.” He gave me an unbelieving, disappointing look but luckily ended my misery there.
Really, how does one broach this topic with one’s kids? Any pointers?
