So how did Barb and Laura down the street get Larla?
Be prepared. Unless you only hang around with straight married people.
We told DD at 6.
We had talked a lot about how she didn’t grow in our tummies ( gay couple) she grew in someone else’s but that person couldn’t care for a baby so God brought her to us because he knew we wanted a baby.
Anyway. We used the “ it’s not the stork” book to guide us. Told her the nitty gritty, accurately enough that after she said “ wait, the p**** goes inside the va****?”
To which we said yes and she said that’s gross and went on her way.
She’s 12 now and has no emotional scars from the discussion.

My 10 year old also has emotional scars from the conversation we had when she was 4-5. I was all proud of myself because I’d heard (no idea if it is true) Kristen Bell told her daughters “the woman puts the man’s penis inside her vagina” as a framing of feminine empowerment vs “the man puts his penis in the woman’s vagina” - so I knew just what to say. My child was completely horrified and screamed “it comes off!?!?!?!l” and has been basically unwilling to discuss anything sort of sex related with me since.

I got her all the “it’s not the stork” books.

My kid asked about it when she was about 4. I explained how it all works, not only between a man and a woman, but also if 2 men want kids or 2 women. It isn’t hard to explain.

I think the issue is your daughter takes after her histrionic mother who takes parenting advice from Kristen bell
