That is how the conversation started with my 5 year old daughter.  Up until recently she has said she wants to be a cheerleader when she grows up.  However, she told me yesterday that she wanted to be a mommy and photographer.  Then she said she had changed her mind and she just wanted to be a photographer – no mommy.  You see, she had asked me a few months back, “How exactly DO you get a baby out of your body?”  I told her there were two ways.  One way involved cutting a hole in your tummy, taking the baby out, then sewing you back up.  I explained the “other way” to her to in 5 year old terms also.

So fast forward back to today.  She asked when her cousin was going to get a baby brother or sister.  My explanation was that my sister was not going to have any more babies.  I noticed a confused look on her face.  Then she asked me, “How do you make sure you don’t have any more babies?”  I told her that you could have a surgery.  Her reply was, “I think you should just pray and tell God you don’t want any more babies.”
