Jadon (8): “Mama, are we going to ever have another baby?”
Mama: “No, Mama and Daddy are done.”
Boys: “Awwwwwww!”
Jadon: “How do you stop having babies?”
Mama: “Well, there’s this window of time where a woman releases and egg, and we can prevent that egg from getting fertilized using some different methods.”
Jadon: “So you just have to stay away from men?”
Mama: “Well, I have to stay away from Daddy. Sort of.”
Jadon: “Oh.” (Looks like he might? understand.) “So when a man fertilizes an egg that means the egg turns into a boy?”
In our case, yes, that’s exactly what happens.
Way to be specific
Zadok: “Mama, he hurt my hair.”
Mama: “He hurt your head?”
Zadok: “No, he hurt my hair.”
I didn’t realize hair could feel.
Funny words from a 4-year-old
Mama: “Is that what you want to do?”
Hosea: “Yes. It is. Indeed.”
