The other day as I was getting ready to head out the door to work, Colin asked me, "How do cats mate?"
My children know the basic biology of where babies come from, but I wasn't ready for a huge discussion.
"What do you mean?" I said.
"You know, like how bugs mate. How do cats mate?"
I said, "Well, the male cat gets on top of the female cat..."
I paused, not sure what level of detail was going to be needed.
"And the female cat pushes the babies out, right?" Colin said triumphantly
Yes, son, exactly.

hahaha! I remember the awkward conversation I had with my mom about "where babies come from".
I can't believe how much he's grown up, especially if he's wondering about how cats mate. :)
I miss you all!!!
They drink beer, like all mates. Duh.
Woah!
I love that you can just provide some of the information with kids and not overwhelm them with too much.
Wonder what brought that thought/question to his mind?
What astounds me is that he asked you how they "mate", not how they make kittens!
