I remember this only vaguely, but my mum recently filled in the gaps in the story. When I was about 6 I asked how babies got into a mummy's tummy. She decided it was time for me to know, so she asked me " you've seen both Mummy and Daddy with no clothes on when we are in the shower...what's different about each of us?" I thought for a while and answered " Mummy wears a shower hat and Daddy doesn't." My mum decided perhaps I wasn't ready to be told after all!
