I was trying to have a serious talk but he cut me off and said 'Costco, duh.' Apparently they're in the baby aisle. I'm not correcting him, his answer is way better than the actual talk I was planning.
That's hilarious. My son said similar nonsense when I tried to have the talk. Apparently kids these days think everything comes from Costco.
Wait till he tells his friends that and they all believe him. My daughter spent a whole week convinced we got her brother from Target because I joked about it once. Kids repeat everything.
This is gold. Did you go with it or try to course correct? I think I would've just let him have that one and tried again in a year.
That's hilarious. Honestly I'd leave it, that answer is way better than a awkward birds and bees talk. He'll figure out the real deal from friends or school anyway.
That's perfect, man. Let him have that one. These big talks are always awkward anyway, so if he's satisfied with the Costco answer you dodged a bullet.
This made me laugh. Your son nailed that response honestly. You can have the real talk later when he actually needs it - no rush.
I tried having the actual talk with my oldest and he interrupted me to ask if the baby grows on a tree. The imagination at that age is something else. Just let them think whatever makes sense to them.
Costco killed me. That's the kind of answer that makes you realize kids are living in a completely different reality. Did he give you any other details about this Costco baby supply?

Kids say the best stuff. He'll probably ask real questions later but at least you tried. That's what counts.
