I Am Curious Ed

"I Am Curious Ed" is a season 5 episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy, in which Sarah and Jimmy try to find out where babies come from.

Plot
Jimmy and Sarah are pleased to find that there are some new baby fish in their goldfish bowl although their arrival poses a bit of a teaser because neither of them can explain how the babies came to be there. It's the question every kid asks eventually, just where do babies come from?

Getting a straightforward and honest answer however, proves harder than Jimmy and Sarah had hoped because the question itself seems to provoke either giggle fits or scorn in most of the other kids. Those that do offer an explanation are of little help too because it's so straightforward it can't be true - 'they grow on trees like apples' says Kevin, or else - as in Eddy's case - so darn freaky you just have to hope it's not true! It's beginning to look as if the little kids question is not going to be answered but thankfully Double D - or rather Buzzy Double Bee - comes to their rescue with his hive full of answers, workers, and larval sacs! Double Bee doesn't get it all his own way though because his educational party is soon crashed - quite literally - by Ed the stork who's determined to prove that he knows the real truth about where babies come from. Ed may be a birdbrain but as Eddy soon finds out the answer he delivers is pretty uplifting! Ed then proves to Edd that babies come by storks by grasping Eddy with his teeth, flies to a house and drops him down the chimney.

 * Explanations of where babies come from:
 * Nazz: laughed inappropriately and did not even help explain anything about the baby topic
