Not ready for this conversation.

The kids have been asking a lot these days about different families. Those with two mommies, two daddies, one mommy, etc. Most of this is probably due to our friend Sue who is in our co-op on Mondays. Sue and Yana have twins and older daughter. Sue was pregnant with Stella, the older one, and Yana with the twins. But with the same sperm donor. They have asked where Stella's daddy is and don't seem satisified with the answer "they dont' have one".

Parker has been saying how he is going to have two daddies, one being Aidan. Miranda thinks she is going to have two mommies, one being Elizabeth. I had to explain about not being able to "marry" your sister, so she said "Fine, I'll marry Oliver."

So today, while Elizabeth and Miranda were in swim class, Parker says very loudly in front of all the parents waiting for their kids, "When I'm an adult and have two daddies, how will I have a baby if there is no mommy?"

Oh Shit.

So I tell him that the women have the eggs and the men have the "seeds". Not sure why I didn't just say Sperm, but that seemed too complex. He asked what kind of seed. I told him a seed that helped people grow.

Now, I sound like an idiot.

So I tell him that we can look at a book when we get home.

Luckily he drops it.

I guess I really need to practice this conversation, especially in light of the kids origins.
