My boys....

BOY #1:

Jared calls me after-school and says, "Mom, I forgot to remind you that it was picture day, today."  Immediately, I start thinking of how he needs a hair cut.....wondering what he picked out to wear this morning....seriously doubting  that he brushed his hair before he left to school.  Thoughts of my worst fears  were interrupted when I heard him say, "Mom, it's okay.  I smiled really nicely."
OH, and that's suppose to make me feel better?

BOY#2:
Jonah is always telling me he wishes he had a little brother or sister.  Well, today, he says, "Mom, please, have another baby.  I really want to be a big brother."

Me:  "Oh, Jonah, I can't have any more babies."

Jonah:  "Why, Mom?"

Me:  "Well, if you must know, it's because Mommy had a special surgery so I wouldn't be able to have more babies."

Jonah:  "Oh, Mom.  Why?  Undo it!  Undo it!"

Me:  "Sorry, baby.  You are my last child."  (He walks off sadly.)

A few minutes later, he comes back.

Jonah:  "Mom, um...um... so you had surgery? (I nod)  Um....so did they cut out that cord that the baby eats from?  Did they take that out, so no baby would grow?"


Me:  (TRYING not to laugh)" Uh, no.  Jonah, weren't you there listening when Daddy told Jared how babies were made?"

Jonah:  "Yes....I just don't get that egg thing.  Pretty sad, huh?"
