Kids are full of weird questions … and some of the craziest may be about you! That's right, kids are curious about your body, boobs, wrinkles, why your, erm, privates look different from theirs, and far more. In case you've ever heard some questions that made you laugh or wince, well, join the club.
To get a sense of just how wild these inquiries can get, we asked moms to share stories about the funniest questions they've been asked about their appearance. They're proof that you really never know what your kids are thinking:
-
"My 4-year-old had to urinate badly outside while hiking, so I told him he could just go outside. He was pleasantly surprised. When he was finished, he asked, 'Mom, why don't you pee outside? Your jy-nah (vagina) is not long enough?'"
-
"When my child was 3 she asked, 'Mama, Why do you have a moustache down there?'"
-
"My 5-year-old daughter pointed to my stretch marks and asked why my tummy looks like a map."

"My son once asked me what was on my face. I have a mole on my cheek. I told him it was a mole and he asked me if it was contagious!"
-
"My daughter was in the shower with me. She looked at my privates and asked about the hair. I told her it was my pubic hair. She asked if I showed it off since it is public. After cracking up, I taught her the difference between 'pubic' and 'public' and said this area was very private."

"The first night we were home after I'd given birth to my second son, my extended family and I were all watching a show that was sad and I started to cry. My 8-year-old son turned to me and said, 'are you crying because you already had the baby and you're still fat, or because the baby is ugly?' He thought my tummy would be flat as soon as the baby was out. My sister and brother-in-law had tears in their eyes from laughing so hard."

"My 3-year-old asked, 'Mommy, may I touch your wrinkles? When I see your wrinkles, I think of softness.' I said sure. Never thought of wrinkles that way before!"

It took me a while to catch my breath, I was laughing so hard, but I finally was able to explain the physical differences between boys and girls."

It looks like there is another baby in there. Are you sure?' Me: 'Yes, son, yes.' Sigh."
