How Do Babies Get Out?

How do babies get out?

 

I was so much happier to get this question then how do they get in.  Whew!!!  I had my first baby naturally (whatever that means) and my second c-section.  So I quick ran through where the first one came out and then got to the interesting scar for the second one, hoping to not have to explain how it got in or how that tiny little spot lets out a kid.  My mom was sitting with me for this and then she got in the act showing her scar.  I don’t know why my 6 year old always has to ask this question when I am unprepared.  Can’t she submit an agenda?  I need to be prepared with more professional mommy answers.  I was lucky my mom was a fantastic explainer and very open in our conversations regarding all things sexual or body function related.  I hope to mimic that but am somehow more of a prude than my 65 year old mom.  How did that happen?  I am also very aware that my 6 year old loves to share personal conversations with EVERY SINGLE child she knows, and some she just meets in the playground.  I of course had to remind her that unlike sharing stories of her friends or cousins rashes she is not to share our latest discussion.  I expect tomorrow it will be on the blackboard of her first grade class.
