    Reasons

    A mother and her 5-year-old son were flying Southwest Airlines from Denver to Dallas.

    The son (who had been looking out the window)turned to his mother and asked, "'If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?"

    The mother, who couldn't think of an answer, told her son to ask the flight attendant.

    So the little guy walks up to the galley and asks the flight attendant.

    The flight attendant responded, "Did your mother tell you to ask me that?" The boy nodded.

    "Well, then, please tell your mother that there are no baby planes because Southwest always pulls out on time. Have her explain that to you."

      I need to be careful what I say to my kids. Each time we fly we look out the windows at the 'mommy' and 'daddy' planes and the 'baby' planes. My oldest knows that babies grow in their mommy's tummy but I wonder where she thinks baby planes come from?

        Could this be it?

          That's funny !

          Somehow I have managed to keep everything very precise, maybe even clinical.
          My girls now know that
          - boy-dogs don't have puppies, only girl-dogs do.
          - Only living things have babies, Elmo and the garden gnome don't.
          - Small girls don't have babies, they need to be grown up, get a job and get married first .
          - if a boy hits you, you hit him back so hard he goes home crying (I sorta told them - you take care of the boy, I'll take care of the parent / teacher)

          - And of course, real men don't wear ear-rings !
          It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

            I don't think so Jeff but so far my daughter hasn't asked just HOW the baby gets in Mommy's tummy. She is smart enough that one day (way sooner than I want) she is going to make that leap and ask. And I know that telling her 'it grows there' won't be enough because then she will wonder how you plant it....
