Sometimes I get some of the funniest questions from my kids...Take for instance yesterday; while on the way home from shopping, out of the blue Tanner asked me if he was all bloody when he was born. I said, well no, kind of, a little...? Mackenzie immediately followed with, "Well, wasn't your stomach all bLoOdY?????" Leave it to her to make things more dramatic and gross... I told them that yes it was bloody because it was cut open so that the doctor could get them out. I was holding the steering wheel tighter and tighter, hoping that no one would ask the dreaded question of where babies come from, or how they get there in the first place. Well, guess who asked it? Yep. It was the girl. Thankfully we were turning on our street heading home, and I only had a few seconds to respond to the question and I told them that when a man and woman get married - they decide to have a baby...I said that it was a little hard for them to understand all the details, but that as they get older we could talk more about it. I'm hoping that I have a lot more time to come up with the story behind it, but I'm thinking that with this generation they are learning things a lot quicker than I did!!
This picture was taken after we had 'Kids Clinic' last weekend.
Kids clinic involved foot rubbing, face masks, and back scratching!
Samson was right at our side watching every move,
and in the end he got a cold compress on his head from Mackenzie!
I want an appointment at the kids clinic. We'll call it Nanny Clinic and I want the works.
ReplyDeleteI don't intend to share with the dogs either.
Very funny story - you have good writing skills.
ha ha ha!! Jason actually came up with the "Clinic" idea to begin with. It was a few weekends ago, and he told the kids that Mommy needed some special treatment and so it started as a Mommy clinic...(and Daddy clinic of course!). The kids love that kind of stuff. We will make you & dad an appointment the next time we see you.
