making babies

Age 1
Babies fall from stars 
into mummy's tummy..
He gurgles in delight. 

Age 3
His lips accidentally brush hers 
At the lift landing 
He clasps his mouth in horror
You and I are going to have a baby!
Not when mums and sons kiss, she reassures him 

Age 5
A nature show on tv
zooms in on two big cats. 
They are making babies chips in the elder sibling 
Are they married, he asks 
Yes, they are, she says.

Age 7
She is watching a movie
This is not for kids she says 
Are they making babies ? 
I know how they make babies he says happily. 
She switches off the tv.

Age 9.
Science textbooks tell all
Doing a headcount he announces
You and dad had sex 3 times 
She nods. Exactly 3. 
He understands
