Have you ever asked a 5 year old what love is? Or maybe you’ve asked them where babies come from- well, I’ve asked my oldest daughter, who is 4 1/2 where she thinks babies come from and it’s always the same answer- “you go to college, and when you are done you can have a baby.” I explained to her that in my last year of college I was pregnant with her, and during my semester finishing up my Master’s degree I became pregnant with her sister. So naturally, she thinks that college granted me the chance to conceive a baby. Kids really do say and think the darnedest things!
