When I was pregnant with my 2nd I explained to my son that the baby was floating in warm water (amniotic fluid). He thought about it carefully and then asked “Are there noodles in there?” Valid question
I told my six year old that he as born naked. He disagreed and said that had I eaten underwear so he came out wearing it.
