I get this email, which lists other people's embaressing moments. I got one today, that I thought was really funny!
Family Shopping
When my son was 4 years old, he asked me where babies came from. I believe in age-appropriate honesty, so I explained to him that mommies have eggs and daddies have sperms. When the egg and the sperm get together, they make a baby. He was satisfied with that answer (whew!) and I figured all was done until he got older. We were shopping in a grocery store a few weeks later and I noticed that my son had disappeared. I called his name; he answered and came running towards me. He appeared at the other end of my aisle, madly waving a box of eggs, screaming: "I got your eggs, Mommy! Where do they keep the sperms? I want a baby brother!" I
must have blacked out, because I don't remember much after that -- although the sound of ysterical laughter does resonate in my mind.
