Okay, so the birds and the bees question brought back a moment years ago when my then 4yo son came to me , "mommy, how do you make a baby?" I just about fell on the floor. I was so unprepared for this moment so soon! Where do I start, how much do I tell him. I was just about to open my mouth when I saw the paper and pencil he was holding. Yes, he wanted to know how to "draw" a baby. PHEW! That was close! Any funny foot in mouth or close call moments you want to share?

What can I do next?

Well last week our school had a Western Day celebration. So they had a small party at lunch. Chili and hot dogs were served. My son was refusing to eat the chili. He likes chili and this version was especially made for kindergarteners...very mild. So I wanted him to at least try a bite. I had gotten other kids to enjoy it by adding fritos and showing them how to make frito pie. I sat down and insisted he try it. "No.". Tried coaxing. "I don't want that one." Added fritos. "I can't have that one mom." So fine...Mom will eat it. As I put it in my mouth he yells. "Mom noooo. That one is X's. She ate out of it!" X had a horrible cold. So I do the mature thing and spit it out. My son looks at me rolling in laughter, "Mom hand me my bowl next to you and I'll eat it."

You know how you're not suppose to ask a woman when she's due unless you KNOW she's pregnant? Yeah, well, I learned the hard way only it's way worse than what you're imagining....

Me...oh, when are you due?
Woman (I saw here and there at work)...I'm not pregnant.

Then an alien abducted my body (so I claim) and I said

"no, really". Like I didn't freakin believe her!!!!!!

I immediately wanted the earth to open up and swallow me whole. :O

Oh goodness, lol...

Well - I really did say too much on this one. My almost 5 yr old and 6 yr old were bickering whos cup was who's and that they couldn't share b/c of germs. Well out of frustration I blurted out that both of them were in moms tummy and both of them came into the world the same exact way so they really shouldn't care what germs each one has bc they both came from the same exact spot. Both just looked at me like I was totally nuts and walked away.

Well last night at gymnastics my almost 5 year old decides to tell all the girls in her class that her and her brother can share everything b/c they both came into the world the same exact way - out mommy! Ugh... did not mean for them to repeat that! hahaha

So I have three children, 23, 7 & 5. I also have a granddaughter 21 months. This causes lots of confusion for some reaon. LOL

One day I was walking with my granddaughter through the school to pick up one of my children. One of my son's 4 yr old classmates asked me..Did she come from your womb? Without skipping a beat, I told her "Well, she's my granddaughter, so her mommy came from my womb." This child's mother had the most horrified look on her face. It was priceless. I then turned to the mom & said..good job teaching her the words for everything. Be sure to write that in her baby book.
