Ahh, the innocence of the young

Jasmine told me the day before yesterday that she's going to marry Ben when she's older. Despite me telling her that brothers and sisters don't usually marry eachother, she was adamant that they would live together when they were older, get married and have babies. Ben, feeling much older and wiser, told her that he was going to marry a lady and she was going to marry a man, and that 'I will put a seed in the lady's tummy and she will have a baby'. So much for trying to explain the birds and the bees. He went on to say that he would put the seed in her mouth (at which point I about choked) because that's how the seed gets into the tummy (can see his point though!).....Next time they are curious about how babies are made I think I'll stick to the old 'found you in the cabbage patch' line.
