She really nails it with the illustrations.
Explaining where babies come from is hard for any parent, but even trickier for same-sex parents. In this video, seven-year-old Sophia explains in the most adorable way how her two moms had a baby.
The video, posted by The Next Family, features Sophia breaking down the facts of life as her mother holds back — understandably — lots of laughter.
"If you're a kid with two moms and you don't know how to explain it to other kids or people, this is a video of how you can explain it," Sophia begins with unbridled enthusiasm. (We are assuming that little black monster thing is Sophia’s idea of sperm.)
It's a complicated subject, but the first grader offered up some helpful illustrations:
"Say you have Mom, and she was in love with this other girl, and then they married, and then they want to have a baby — but they need a boy!" she begins like the expert she is.
Some of the specific details aren't that important.
