A baby is growing in mommy's tummy
A baby is growing in mommy's tummy. Jip hopes it's a boy. 'Is there a dick growing on it, too?" she asks. 'We don't know,' says Mommy. 'The baby is still too small to see that.'
'Where is that little baby coming from?
But how did that little baby end up in Mommy's tummy? What is sex anyway, except a word that makes the big kids at school laugh a lot? How is it that Thomas has two mothers and doesn't know who his father is? What happens to all those eggs and seeds that don't become babies? How does a baby know that it can only be born after nine months of growth and not way too early, like Bram's little brother? And how exactly does that happen, being born?
