Or even, "Honey, they're just breasts, they provided food for you when you were a baby, and you can only see the outline of my nipples because it's chilly in here. That's just how bodies work. There's nothing inherently sexual about a body, we all have them. Now go back to your homework."
I mean, I'm not a parent, but from when I was a kid and growing up in a culture of shame, just for my own $0.02, I would waaaaaaay rather kids be a little too comfortable with nakedness than "OH MY GOD BOOBIES YOU SLUT."
(Aside, I had a friend's five year old son walk in on me while I was bathing, and I sorta casually shifted so he couldn't see much, or at least, as much as I could hide while completely naked in the bath, and I just asked him if he needed anything, and told him that I would be out in about five minutes and that we'd play then, and he just wandered out and found a game he wanted to play. Thank god they did not freak out on me. Apparently he was just figuring out that ladies had different bits. Kids, man, kids.)
