Birds and the umm, seeds

In the car this morning:

MG: Mommy, how does a baby get in the mommy's belly?
JK: Uh, how does a baby get in the mommy's belly... Umm. (Restating the question to stall for time)
MG: Yes, how does the baby get in the mommy's belly?
JK: Um, the daddy puts a seed inside the mommy and then it starts to grow.
MG: Then how come it doesn't fall out?
JK: Um, it stays there until it's ready to be born.
MG: Oh! I thought you take the belly off and put the baby and then put the belly back on.
JK: No, not exactly. The baby grows inside the mommy's belly, or actually her uterus.
MG: Oh, ok. (Continues looking out the car window.)
