My Cruel Mate
I was reading a bedtime story to Love when she asked,
"How are babies made?"
Her question took me back. I bite my lower lips, not knowing what to say.
"Well, a mommy and daddy do that,"
Love giggled, " I know, but how?"
"Well, they go to the doctor and they get mommy's egg and mixes with other medical things, and boom, a baby appears in mommy's tummy," I lied, she peered at me for a long time, deciding whether I was being truthful or not.
"Well, that's not what my friends say but okay," She shrugged. "Cali, how does it leave the stomach?"
