Birds and bees

This was my conversation with the boys tonight before bed:

Grant:  Are you ever going to be a Grandma?
Me:  Are you going to have kids?
Grant:  Yes.
Me:  Well, then I'm going to be a Grandma. 
Dallin:  I'm not gonna have kids.
Me:  What do you mean, Dallin, that you're not going to have kids?
D (smiling):  Never mind.  I'll have kids.

Slight pause in conversation...

D:  Mom, do kids just randomly come?
Me:  Nooo.
D:  Or are they something that Heavenly Father gives to you?
Me:  Sort of.  Heavenly Father makes it possible for us to have kids, but it has more to do with the choices we make to have children.
D:  What do you mean?
Me:  When you marry a girl and have her as your wife, then you do special things to make babies together. 
D &; G:  What kind of things?  Like being nice to each other?
Me (chuckling to myself):  Yup, like being nice.
K:  And going on dates?
Me:  Yup, going on dates.
D:  Then no wonder you have so many kids!
Me:  Why?
D:  Because Dad's really nice and takes you on lots of dates!
