Giving Birth vs Laying Egg
Belle, Education, Parenting October 10th, 2008This week Belle watched my mom’s hen lay egg and a lady gave birth from the movie Knocked Up.
She asked me where the baby come out from. I lied. I told her that the doctor make a small cut at the lower abdomen to get the baby out!
She asked me how did the baby get in the tummy in the first place. I lied again! I told her that God did that. God can do everything. (which is the truth right? hehe) “Like magic, Mommy?” I quickly answered “Yes! Clever girl!”.
Then she made a comparison between the hen and the woman in labour.
“Why the lady must scream?”
“Why the hen did not scream?”
“The hen “tahan” (can stand) the pain. She just stand up and the egg come out.”
My answer, “Sure lar…egg so small and round. Baby is so big and a hen lay an egg everyday. She got use to it already.”
“Mommy, I don’t want to give birth. So painful.”
