Explaining where babies come from is hard for any parent, but even trickier for same-sex parents. In this video, 7-year-old Sophia explains in the most adorable way how her two moms had a baby.
The video, posted by The Next Family, features Sophia breaking down the facts of life as her mother holds back — understandably — lots of laughter.
It's a complicated subject, but the first-grader offered up some helpful illustrations:
Some of the specific details aren't that important.
But this "Sperm Donor" guy seems to play an important role.
And let's all agree that "sperm" will never not be a funny word to say.
The idea for the illustrated video arose from a real conversation between Sophia and her mother Brandy Black, founder of The Next Family.
"About 6-8 months ago, I asked [Sophia] if anyone asked questions about her having two moms, and she told me that some people said it was impossible for her not to have a daddy," Black told BuzzFeed News.
"Navigating your way through parenthood is hard enough, and as a lesbian mom, figuring out how to keep your child informed is a learning process," Black said.
"I had no idea what she was going to say [in the video], but you may be able to see by watching that I was really surprised and impressed with her answer."
