I guess you you're right but the answer looks questionable.

I think that will help.

I would tell my child the truth but with vocabulary appropriate for his age. I would want my kid to hear it from me first rather than outside. One has to be careful with kids. I have seen cases where parents gave very explicit information and the kids went to KG or school to tell their friends.

A five year old knows a great deal, much more than parents sometimes suspect. Don`t forget that they get exposed outside to alot of talk from other kids. That is why we need to clear our kids up. The fact that a kid asks a question is already an indication that there is a desire for knowledge. It is also maybe an indication that he has been exposed to the topic, either in conversation or from what he sees. Very often kids ask these questions when their mums are pregnant too.
That is why I think it is the duty of parents to clear their kids up.

the problem is

you are reasoning as grown up you no the adult life hence you are all thinking along those line instead of being a 5 year child who still believes in santa

Don't you think the impression would be that the answer is not worth revealing?

That way you make the kid wanna hear from others too.

@Topic:

I've got two girls aged 5 and 7, and up till recently, the only thing they knew was that babies originally grow in the mum's belly before they are born, at this point they never asked how.  About four months ago, whilst driving from school, the older one 9 (who I will refer to as Big Miss) started a conversation thus:

Big Miss: Mummy? I want to ask you a question

Me: Yes?

Big Miss: Where do babies come from?

Me: From the mum's tummy of course, thot u knew that alredi

Big Miss:  Yes, I know they come from the belly, but how do they come out?

Me:  Ehm, they come out of the tummy now,

Big Miss: Yes, but hoooooow?  do they cut the mum's tummy open?

Me:  Ehm, ehm, no, actually, they come out thru the mum's bom-bom

Both Children:  WHAAAAATTTTT!!!!

Big Miss: Which of the bom-boms Mummy?  Is it the wee-wee bom-bom or the poo-poo bom-bom?

Me: ehm,

Big Miss:   Eeeeeeewwwwww, so the baby will be covered in poo-poo and wee-wee when they are born?!  Mummy, do u mean Small Miss and I were covered with that when we were born?

Little Miss:  Yuck!!!   Not me o!!!

Both Children:  Eeeeeeewwwwww!!!!!

Me:   wink wink, for now, till they ask how the babies got into the tummy in the first place,

That was exactly how my kids reacted cheesy
Yesterday one came home and the teacher had been telling them, how the kids come into the tummy.
My 7 year looked at me in disgust and asked me
"So that is what you do with papa?"

The children were encouraged to tell the teacher all the know. My kid came back with allot of stories. The kids were also asked the different names for the private parts and so he came back with such detailed stories I had to gasp. Many of the kids told stories, some had even watched it on tv, etc.

I think this is just too much for a primary two child. What sort of subject is that? I Will speak with My 7yrs old teacher if i was to be in your shoe.

i don't think this was a case of reporting abuse. It seemed like it was a class session, but i'll leave it to mutter.

lets agree to disagree

here in the UK thats how they con kids to tell what happens in their home hence kids turn to be aware of what is abuse i.e hitting them s/he will tell you that s/he was told that parents shouldnt hit kids

how did they know becoz the kids where asked if parents hit them and how do they hit them
