Daddy.. where do I come from?

-------------------------------------------------
Nasty schedule, hectic working hours and lots of tea with clients.. That sums up my current working time.. LOL...
-------------------------------------------------


Often, little kids pop up 'the question', which leaves the poor parent(s) stammering with a vague answer. Little does the kid know, the usual response is seldom the truth, some may just be brushed off without any answer, leaving the poor kid searching in curiosity.

'Mommy/Daddy, where do I come from?'

Or..

'Mommy/Daddy, where do babies come from?'

Questions as such is always accompanied with a very innocent and curious look from the eyes, and the parent(s) is always in a dilemma to tell the real process of how they were actually made up..

They just can't say..

'Daddy made a mistake, forgotten to buy a special balloon and thats how you are here.'

Or,

'One beautiful morning, a white stork carrying a small bag flew to our chimney and dropped you on our unlit fireplace.'

With such vast media sources nowadays, the above statements just don't cut it anymore. What if they really google for the fact and realize that what 'Daddy' or 'Mommy' says is a lie afterall?

Of course, they can't just illustrate the steamy and illicit sessions on how they 'made' babies to the kid at such tender age. So the question is, 'How to overcome 'the question', without revealing too much and at the same time not telling a terrible lie?'

Of course, not everyone is like Luke Skywalker in StarWars, where he doesn't even know who the hell is his dad till Darth Vader unveils the horrible truth..

So, I happened to stumble upon a wise fella who answers like this:

'Its a little love from Daddy, a little love from Mommy and LOTS of love form God.. That's how you came about..'

Hmm.... fascinating...

That how you gonna tell you kid? Sounds lame as usual...

Might as well use scientific terms...they'll probably get bored about it.

"When the sperm ovulates the ovul, a foetus is formed etc etc..."

They'll look at you like "What the fuck? You got 20 cents? Call someone who gives a fuck!" LOL
