Just curious to know what you were all told by your parents as kids as to where babies come from.

My parents were always rather blunt with me on such topics but im curious to hear what sort of lies other people where told to "preserve innocence"

Babies come from the place that money goes to...
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

Originally there was cutesy reference to "the stork, but "Mommys belly" was the explanation starting around the age of three, when a direct question was asked.

I was surrounded by cats and dogs and various birds (and their babies) early on. There was no reason to hide the truth. As the questions were formed, the answers were given.

parents may try and hide it from you but the truth is that you hear all about sex in the playground from other kids (there not that innocent after all ) who either found out from thier older brothers, sussed it out or were told. You usually understand the basic idea of it from a early age due to this.

We don't have that Brit term, "sussed it out" in the US, that is, I'd never heard it. Is sus / suss a stand-alone word or does it derive from something else?

"Mommy, where do baby carrots come from?"
"The stalk brings them, dear."

This moment of absurd humor brought to you by:
"No trees were harmed in the production of this post. However, several electrons were severely inconvenienced."

sussed it out means youve got it e.g "i finally sussed out how to beat the last level in my computer game" or that you have checked something out e.g "i sussed out that new resturant and it looks good"

the second example leads me to believe that the words is derived from black london slang, possibly due to the "sus" law where police could arrest you if you were "suspicious" but there was massive corruption and racism and people hated it especially black people as they were picked on by police unfairly just because of thier skin colour

Babies come from an egg in mommy's belly. I stopped eating eggs right then and there.
