Has anyone else had birds & bees type questions come up already?

Hi,
What I mean is, of course when Jasper was younger, he asked where babies come from and I told him from the mommy's tummy but now at age 6, he came up to me the other day with his 3 year old brother in tow and asked a more specific question of "Mom, How do people get pregnant?"
I normally am pretty open with my children when it comes to explaining things and I normally feel like there is an open and honest way to explain just about everything but this really caught me off guard.
In that moment, I was sitting there, surprised, wondering what to say and luckily within a minute, they were busy with other things and had forgotten about it. But I am still uncertain as to how I would handle that question, should it come up again, any thoughts? Or similar experiences?

Well I have found this a little late but I've had the same question on my mind! My son has asked a dozen times now and I still don't quit know what to say. He knows he and his sister came from my tummy....but he wants to know how they got there and how exactly they got out. I know I need to be straight forward and just explain it but OMG. I don't want to!
