Recent discussions with the kids...
David: "But Mommy, when a baby grows in a mommy's belly, how does it get there?"
(Oh man...it gets harder and harder to satisfy him with vague answers!)

Abigail: "Mommy, what color is my skin?"
(I hesitate as I decide the best color choice to use)
Abigail: "I know! Skinny!"

David, at the dinner table with company recently, happy to have an interesting story to tell the grownups: "There was a strange dog that came in our yard. It was kinda like a bulldog. It came in our yard and pooped and peed."
(He didn't understand why we quickly shushed him. Especially since there seemed to be a great response from everybody around the table who couldn't swallow their laughter!)

Grandparents love to hear these stories because it is a revenge thing! Thanks for sharing!
Answer number 1 - God puts it there. (It is true.)
Answer number 2 - Crayola Crayon Color 'Apricot' however when David gets his "full answer" at the appropriate age he will have more of a 'Concord Grape' tinge to his skin.
Number 3 - Never have people who are not parents, grandparents or at least a doting aunt/uncle of someone's male children to dinner. It will be years before the bodily functions of people/animals cease to hold both amazement and amusement to your male offspring around the time you answer number 1 with full disclosure you will be able to spread your social dinner circle...
