to be a bit freaked by my nearly 2 year old saying the word 'sex'?

this is a genuine request for advice/reassurance. DD is nearly 2, pretty good verbally. Goes to nursery 3 mornings a week. This morning DP and I had a hug and DD said 'mummies having a hug', followed by 'having the sex'...Now she would never have come across any discussion of sex at home, nor does she watch TV, so the only thing I can think is that a child at nursery has said this when seeing adults hugging (it's an all female staff), perhaps prompted by an older sibling. I'm sure it's perfectly innocent, but I am a bit :( at the idea that she already thinks that physical affection is sexual (although of course she has no idea what this means). Should I say anything to them about it? She also said something similar when we had a kiss (not a snog) in the car, but I think we both assumed that we had misheard.

So more of a WWYD than a AIBU?

I'm not that worried tbh, just not sure if I should say something or not. Surprised, a little
