My 4yo has become preoccupied with the whole baby thing. Now being a parent of another child I know this is natural...you know all the "How does the baby get in there?" "How doees the baby get out?" and my personal fav these days "Is bubba gonna be the daddy?" to which my answers are the pretty simple..."Um" "Well" and "NO! Bubba will be the uncle! For God sakes we don't live in Mississippi." But now my son has decided that he knows the answer to some of these questions so he's gonna help mom out. To which I had to put a stop to, quick like. I decided to take the kids to the movies the other night as a way for us to all have fun together as a family. I wanted to make sure that I was getting quality time in with the monsters since it has been a hard week on all of us. Jay starts in to the ritualistic 1000 questions, only this time she wants to focus on babies and will not let up. So I explain that no, Bubbie can not be the dad because he is your brother. He can be the uncle. Babies get in there from guys...so don't get too close to them or you will have the responsibilty. And they do not come out through your belly button. The last part was were my dear sweet boy pipes in with "I know what you mean. Want me to explain it to her?" No I don't thank ya very much!!!! I got this here! I explain that it comes out of other places and it doesn't feel so good. Ha I handled it right? Well I am just unsure where my child is getting all of his info or what to do about the growing up he is trying to do. What I do know is that I am not sure I want to leave the two of them in the same room together for to long because I worry about what they might be "discussing" while I am not there. Ah Lawd when did this shit start happening.? I do not remember asking these questions until I was older and then I sure didn't ask my mother!!! I asked the people whom I thought had the most info on the whole thing...my older "wiser" cousins. Why do they always come to me with the hard ones? That's what I keep the grammy's around for!
