We were having a chat a few weeks ago I was telling him about the uterus and how it fills up with water. He then asks, "Well, how does the baby breathe? Won't it drown in the water?"

I then explain that the baby is getting all the oxygen and nutrients it needs through the umbilical cord. To which he comments that it is handy that it goes into the baby's mouth, kinda like a scuba. I then kept a straight face, pointed out the belly button and explained that.

I promptly then fell about the floor laughing. To his credit he went bright red and is totally embarrassed. I have since been told I'm not allowed to tell anyone else the story after telling my best friend, other friends we have seen, the mail man and anyone that will listen.

THEN the other day I am telling him about some independent birth classes that I wanted us to attend. He isn't that keen and came up with the argument, "Surely those classes are for dumb people." I then look him dead in the eye and point out this was coming from the main who thought the umbilical cord was like a scuba. He promptly conceded that perhaps it was a good idea.

So there you go. I hope that gives you all a good laugh! I still get a little chuckle...
