V. is almost 2½ and I’ve been telling her how she was conceived since I was pregnant. I had a funny little conversation with her the other night:
Me: Who gave the sperm to make you?
V: No one!
Me: Haha, no—Daddy did! Who gave the oocyte eggs to make you?
V: [Our donor’s name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
Me (now squealing!): Who grew you in her uterus?
V: Mummy!
It’s been well over a month since I last told her her conception story, so I am amazed that she not only remembers our donor’s name but also understands the [limited] context!
Cute story . She’s so smart
