Stories about Grand Children

Where Babies comes from...!

Sometimes not easy to figure out for
a 4 year old.
My daughter Sara just told me the
following story from when she helped
taking her sisters 3 kids to daycare.

Grandpa was driving and in the car was
Marcus(5) Rasmus(4) and
their little sister Carolina(1½).
Marcus started to talk about babies.
He made a comment about Carolina not being a
small baby anymore and he was wondering where
her baby stroller went.

Sara said: It´s in my basement, since Andreas
and I bought it from your Mum to have for our kids.
We thought it would be nice to have the same babystroller
as the 3 of you used as small babies.
Hm - So now you are going to have a baby too? - Marcus asked.

- No not yet, Sara answered with a smile.
(They had told her a few days earlier that they didn´t want her
to have a baby of her own, yet, since they feared that would
take away all their funny stay-over-night adventures together
with Sara and her boyfriend Andreas in their home.)

Now Rasmus got interested and asked: - Do you have a baby in your belly now, Sara?
- No Rasmus, not at the moment, but soon, maybe.....

She could see where this conversation was going and she just had to wait a
few moments for the question she knew were coming next:-)

- But Sara, where do the baby come from? - Marcus asked.
Carolina was inside Mum´s belly but how did we get her out?
This was not the right time to tell them about facts of life so she just said
- Remember how the Storch came with Dumbo, that´s how, she said.
At this point she could see how hard they were thinking.
- Cork? - Who is Cork?, Rasmus wanted to know.
No, no, not cork, Storch, the big white bird that came with Dumbo, you just
saw that video, didn´t you? - she said with a big smile.
- Aha, the Storch, yes I saw that bird, she heard from Marcus, and she could
see that for now at least he accepted that answer.
Rasmus was quiet for a moment but not pleased and then she heard:
- But Sara, then you will have an elephant baby.........!
