Well, there it is. It's 7:50pm and the kids have done a fabulous job this Wednesday evening while their dad is out surfing. Finished their homework, ate dinner, had 45 minutes of free time, stopped nicely and transitioned into the shower, cleaned up their toys, brushed their teeth and got comfortable in bed with their book of choice.
Lily chose to read her new birthday book....Where Do I Come From.
After a little gasp, giggle and a cover of her mouth with her hand, I had to ask..."what are you laughing at?"
"Mom, did you know that the stuff that comes out of my nose came from dad's penis?"
Flabbergasted, I inquired curiously, "Where did you read that? Show me." She pointed to the paragraph that explained how after the wriggling about, it ends with something like a sneeze. Needless to say I had to read that page out loud and clarify that her hunnabutta does not come from her dad's penis.
However, she did need to verify that to make a baby the man's penis has to go inside the woman's vagina. Big giggles from Lily. And then the inevitable..."Mom, did dad do that to you?"
"Yes," with textbook calmness I replied.
"eeeuuu. I don't ever want to have a baby. I'm not going to get married."
So now I get to don on my anthropology degree and add, "you know Lily, we are of the homo sapien species and if we don't make babies then we won't have more of our species. "
You can image that at this point I'm thinking Brad is missing out. This is absolutely hilarious. Of course, knowing Lily, she'll want to talk about this some more.
We both agreed that she could come to me for questions to clarify rather than her 7 year old friends.
Oh no, now I hear Jacob asking...what are you reading.
Time to turn of the lights in the room! - Kim
