When is the right age to talk about the birds and the bees?

Little Alex asked Auntie Heather last weekend at Joseph's party how her baby got in her belly. Laughingly I said that she ate him. Now, looking back, it was probably not the suavest thing I've come up with in my life. What if Alex is afraid to eat for fear that he'll have a baby in his belly too? What if Alex gets worried that Auntie's going to eat him too? .... What was I thinking?
Joseph on the other hand has just accepted that it's magic! Phew!
