Keda, that conversation is priceless!
RE: "...really really, very very very very VERY nice man" So, if it's short of a "very" or "really"... then it's a no-go, huh? LOL!
Cheers, dear! 
Sooo... if you meet a really really, very very very very VERY nice man, lets hope their first question to him wont be to ask where his Roger is... :D GREAT story... and i think you explained it perfectly... no point beating around the bush about it...
...bush... haha... im sleepy need to go to bed now...
Your very entertaining to read, and your 'Lets'... have a really lovely day!
Well done, I thought. I'm sure a lot of parents could relate to this story. My mum just gave me a book one day - "Where did I Come From?", it was informative. My mum is quite shy about that kind of thing.
Here from Michele's.

there's actually a great book which i remember reading to kids i looked after in the past called 'mummy laid an egg' by babette cole. its brilliant. and has fabulous illustrations. i will be ordering it soon
Someday, your kids will look back at this exchange and smile. You've created a lovely memory for your family...I'll be smiling for the rest of the day now.
(You've also given the rest of us some pretty good talking points for discussing "it" with our own kids.)
Even with boy, we talked birds and bees freely from the minute they asked. The cool thing about it is that you don't ever have to have that big speech our mothers and fathers gave or were expected to, because it came everyday as a natural part of life.
I think you'd enjoy some of the "girl talk" over on my site today.
I love the lets!
the fruit doesn't fall far, now does it
i can now put a check next to 'laugh' on my first-things-first list. and to start on that buffer, i went to one of your comment-ers sinun.blogspot.
merci beaucoup papillon doux
you explained it so well! I dont know if put in the same positon i would be that quick and clean about how babies are made.
are YOU wanting to have more babies? I think its more for the parents to decide then siblings
but at least you are concerning yourself with thier desires too.
my parents just kept pumping babies out (5 of them) and left me to baby sit..(totally unfair to my childhood)
like you said, you have 2 beautiful daughters already. and from what I can tell, little boys are devils comparitively.
aww... that is so very sweet! It's inspiring! I have always vowed to tell my kids the most truthful truth I can muster, because I didn't learn from my mom, but from kids at school, which made it seem shocking and gross and not the least bit lovely. I love your explanation. I will keep it in my head forever!
And I am so glad that you are comfortable with your girls like that, and that you shared with us!
LOL.....my girls are 13and 15 and i remember the conversations from ages 4-6, etc. they were a riot. i've posted some of them at insaneasylime.blogspot.com. good luck, mum. it's always worth a giggle.
So when I asked (around age 4)my parents were really specific and I totally understood how it worked. Then, in grade 1 my best friend knowingly told me that you get pregnant if you kiss a boy. I told her no, and then proceeded to give her the truth as I knew it. "No" she said, "that is NOT true." It ended with her going home in tears. Um, I can just imagine what her mom thought about that conversation later...
Blimey - it's terrifying. O is having "education" at the moment and keeps coming home saying "Dad, it's gross!"
Hilarious. I love the careful dance of too much information for little minds.
Alas, it's going to be soon when I have to have the full moontime talk with Button.
You did a great job...I don't think I'd be able to come up with anything better in the spur of the moment. Gosh I thought we had at least a few more years until that 'talk' came about. Yikes...I better get my notes together.
Keda, You and the lets certainly deserve a decent mate. I know it will happen for you one day. The mosquito problem is bad here this year (but of course there is no global warming according to our fearless leaders), but Florida was really really bad in the 60s. Back then, kids used to ride their bicycles behing the FOG trucks and breath in all that DDT and absorb it in their skins. Which is worse, I wonder: The poison or the bite itself?
That's a great post. I have a four year old boy, and have given him a similar explanation, when he asked. To explain these things gradually is much better, I think, than giving the great prep talk later on.
I found your blog through my friend Deana at Friday Night Fish Fry.
I love your straight-forwardness with the lets! Your story reminds me of an exchange I had with my daughter when she was 5. She marched into the kitchen while I was fixing dinner one night and asked what oral sex was. Not ready AT ALL at that point to explain the whole scenario, I explained that "oral sex is when you talk about having sex."
Hey. I'm not saying it was the right thing to tell her, but it satisfied her for the moment! Meanwhile, I picked myself up off the floor and continued stirring the soup!

I've seen the messages which you left on my blog - this is the reply I posted there -
always a delight to hear from you - thanks for your good wishes and kind words - it’s very much appreciated.
I have of course been reading your blog avidly but I’m a bit shy about commenting on ladies, um, toys and such.
The picture of the beauty holding the quiche explains where the ‘lets get their good looks from
Great explanation keda.
You're getting some nice commenters here.
Oh my, you did alot better on the spot than I would do! You are quick and good to not make up fanciful tales to get by!
Maybe you will meet a really, really, really nice man....one with good seeds of course!
If you ever find a very very very very nice man, can you find out if he has a brother? My niece Sophie, who is the lets age I think, still asks me about my x, and why I sit in his chair at the dinner table. (bc it's the only one available, and he's not there!)
Happy Tuesday hon.
So that's how it works...
LOL to...will he puts it in your mouth an make it go down into your tummy so it can grow?
My aunt told me that as a child she thought that babies came out of the mouth
My son asked me about how eggs become babies. I gave him the textbook "fertilization" reply.
Jesus, if I had a daughter, I'd definitely have to suggest nunhood if I had to participate in that conversation... or just bail with the 'ask mommy' reply.
LOL! I'm lucky so far the kids are convinced that babies are manufactured at the "baby hospital" and all Mama needs to do is go to the hospital and pick one. The problem recently is that my son wants to exchange his sisters for a new baby. And he asks how much they cost. He can't believe they were free.
I would have named boys Garth, Oscar, and Leo. But apparently all we come up with around here is girls.
How've you been? I'll read on and see.
My mother told me that God makes a door open in the lady's tummy, and the baby steps out. Is that not right?
(Sheesh Keda, you're blinkin' Haloscan takes AGES to upload!)
'Flowery'? 'Butterfly'?? LOL! the girls are hippylets...yay! Nicely explained gel! My niece (aged 
is never going to have babies cos her brother (aged 11) sagely informed her that giving birth was like "poo-ing a microwave"
A microwave???!!!
Oh! apparently gives you a smiley face with sunnies...grrr! Niece is aged eight
I am confirmed in my belief that you have two of the cutest kids God ever saw fit to let anyone have... Naming a child "Butterfly"... That is the kind of thing only a little child with a great big heart can think up. Are you sure you're not Photoshpping out those fluffy white wings?
Lovely 
Every girl deserves a really really, very very very very VERY nice man after all.
Love the pic of your girls in front of the MAC.
Michele sent me
Keda,
I wish you were my mamahog! That story was just lovely, much more instructional than my own mother showing me diagrams from a medical book... Your lets will grow up to be insightful, lovely, strong, independent women I'm sure.
