I was pregnant with my fourth baby at the same time my neighbor's dog was about to have her pups. Thinking that now would be an ideal time to explain how babies came into the world, I brought my three boys to see the birth of the puppies. Months later, when I had my baby, my husband brought our sons to the hospital to see their new brother.

While we were all standing at the nursery window looking in, our threeyear old asked, "Are these all ours?"
