My friend and I were talking one day when her daughter (age 5) walked up and asked "How does a baby get out of a mommy's tummy?" My friend stifled a laugh and said "There's a special hole that the baby comes out through." Her daughter thought for a moment and said "Is it this one?" (pointing at her belly button). "No," my friend said.
"Is it this one?" (pointing at her bum)
"No," said my friend, seeing where this is going.
"Is it this one?" the girl asked, pointing at her *ahem* pee-pee.
"Yes, it is."
"OK." She said, and walked off. About 3 minutes later, she came back in with this really confused look on her face and said "Mommy, that's a really small hole."
"Well, honey, it stretches."
"OOHHHHH!"
