Baby Discussions

Mommy I don't want my baby brother any more put him back in your tummy!- Kai

he doesn't feel that way any more fortunately

My daughter had a sore throat and I looked at it and said oh it is very red so she looked in the mirror and then turned to me and said...how did those meatballs get in there, I haven't eaten meatballs in a long time?! She thought her tonsills were meatballs!hehehe

Conversation with a bigger kid . . .

Me - "Why didn't you use Roman numerals in your outline."

Kid - "My keyboard doesn't have Roman numerals. I even checked the extra symbols. No Romans."

My son to the doctor: "Mommy choked me and my throat hurts."

Me to the doctor: "NO! I didn't choke him! I looked into his throat when he said it felt funny."

Him: "You choked me."

Me: "No, honey, I just looked into your throat. I didn't even touch your throat. i would never choke you."

Him to the doctor: "She choked me."

GAH! That was long ago so I can laugh. NOW.

When my son was around 5-6, I would toss him the car keys right before we were going somewhere.   He'd say "HAHA mommy, I'm not the one who drives!"

Around our home, we call body parts by their proper names and answer the kids' questions frankly. Calling a spade a spade, however, has both advantages and disadvantages.

My son was four years old at the time and we were at a checkout line in a grocery store. We were standing beside an obviously pregnant woman and my son says in a clear, loud voice "Is that woman's baby going to come out of her vagina?"...

We were looking at baby photos and our four-year old stood up and said, "when I am grown up, I am going to grow a baby in my tummy, and I'm going to name her Bailey."

I had to leave the room to laugh. We're going to touch on that subject in a few years.
