This was asked by Sammy after I explained to the kids exactly where the baby was and how s/he was being kept safe inside of me (prompted by the question of why the baby did not need a separate seat belt from me). I told them that a uterus is something all girls have, including Elena, at which time Sam asked if he had one.
Luckily he's still young enough not to be offended if Seth and I burst out laughing when he asks a question. It was really a very valid question, but it sounded hilarious.
Later that day, Elena asked my mom if she "still had her uterus." I guess she has noticed that women past a certain age no longer have children. We very briefly explained that while some women do need to have theirs removed, most women continue to have a uterus their whole life.
So ladies, I would like to apologize in advance if either of my children happen to ask you about the state of any of your reproductive organs.
