Birth

So Luna asks me intensely the other day: How did I get out of your belly? The look on her eyes told me, "don't play ma, what is the story lady?" And so I said "You came out my vagina?" "Oh. But don't some people they have to open their stomach?" And so I went on to explain a C-Section and there were 9 million questions. How do they cut it? Who cuts it? Does it hurt ? And on. The odd, funny maybe deep thing about the whole conversation was that she really had little to no questions about vaginal birth. As if it sounded like the most normal thing in the world. As if why would anyone think it'd ever be too early to tell me that?
