Answering the question at an age appropriate level is not censorship. When my daughter asked if she could have a brother or a sister, I explained that for that to happen, a mom and a dad had to be living in the same house. Now, of course that is not strictly true. But for a four-year-old, which she was at the time, it was appropriate, and it stopped the line of questioning why Mommy and Daddy couldn't have more babies.
There's also the aspect of "Where do I come from?" and the parent takes a deep breath and explains all about making babies, in great detail, and then the kid looks puzzled and says, oh, because my friend said he was from Cleveland.
In other words, make sure you know what the kid is really asking -- and it sounds like you did that.
