Out of the Mouths of Babes

I love this age. My son C is 3 1/2. He's always asking questions "what is our house made out of", "what is my body made out of", you get the idea. Well, he's been simply fascinated about the baby I am carrying. For a few weeks, he was convinced he too had a baby in him (although his was in his throat/chest area :) ). His baby was a boy.

Up until last night, his questions of who is pregnant have remained within private conversations at home. Last week he had this conversation with Daddy when he got home:

C: "Does O have a baby in him?"

Daddy: "No."

C: "Does M have a baby in her?"

Daddy: "No. O and M are too little. The Bible says you need to be married first then have babies."

C: "Do you have a baby in you Daddy?"

Daddy: "My baby is in Mommy."

Me: Silently gulping wondering what conversations this would bring up with my almost 6 year old who was listening on. But the conversation seemed to end there.

Fast forward to last night, when my Mom was over for a visit.

C: "Grammy, do you have a baby in your tummy?"

Grammy, chuckling: "No."

Me: "C, do you have a baby in your tummy?"

C: "No."

Grammy: "Who has a baby in their tummy?"
C: "Mommy."

Grammy (who by the way doesn't even know of our conversation last week): "Does O have a baby in his tummy?"

C: "No."

Grammy: "Does M have a baby in her tummy?"

C: "No."

Grammy: "Does Daddy have a baby in his tummy?"

C: "No. He put his baby in Mommy's tummy!"

I just about spit my iced tea all over the table! What a little character my C is! You just can't beat the precious things these kids say!
