So quirky!

They both had me smiling today...

I was talking about having babies in the U.S. and how pricey it can me, and how my friend Paula had to "pay through the nose" to have just a normal hospital birth. Grace looked at me puzzled and troubled, and said "does it hurt to have a baby out of your nose?"

*ahem, Dalton, are you listening? In case us well intentioned parents are missing the big picture at home, sex ed in the classroom might be a good idea!*


And Edie, well, Edie just kept telling me this morning how much she love, love, loves her pinkies.

That's just awesome Edie. I love your pinkies too.

Ha! Cute!
If you are upset about Dalton's latest cowardice in the face of all those obnoxious fundamentalists, you should write him a letter!

We need to let them know that there are sensible people still out there who want their children to know the truth about sex and their bodies. :)

Too funny. Did you explain to her where babies came out?

I tend to love kiddie toes too. Except I noted, today at supper, that The Boy's feet are umm... close to being beyond the cute stage.

Very sad.

If your child actually believes that babies are born this way, I don't think you can blame it all on Dalton.

Leah once thought you could get a baby in a McDonald's Happy Meal, you know, as the toy. True story.

pauline - you're right, i should!
nat - grace knows where babies come from, she just thought maybe the nose was another option she hadn't explored yet.
xup - but i love blaming polticians for everything.
alison - shhhh, mcdonald's may just take that idea and run with it!
