As For the Other One...

So Kiki comes up to me holding this little baby black lamb toy that she is "feeding" with a toy bottle, and gives me one of those looks that moms give each other when they are about to tell a story that starts with the phrase "Get a load of this..." and says: "I have to feed this baby TWICE a day. Morning. And. Night." Then she sighed and walked away.
*******
We were in the car on the way home from Target, and Kiki asked why only ladies could have babies. (I should preface the rest of the story with this: I have made a solemn vow with myself that whatever my kids ask regarding reproduction that they will get the straight up age appropriate truth. No storks here.) So I told her about uteruses- that they were special places that babies had to grow in and only women had them. Inevitably she wanted to know how babies got OUT of the uterus. So I said, "Women have a special hole between their legs and that's where the baby comes out."

Long pause. Like a LOOOOOONG pause. Then she says:

"Like a puppet."

...and yet, strangely enough...I have days where I feel like a puppet.

Maybe she's not creepy, MAYBE she's a genius.

AGREED, Rose. I feel like a puppet for about 2-3 days twelve times a year, as a matter of fact...

OMG...that is the funniest thing I've read so far in 2011. Seriously, it's one of those things I'll think about after we turn out the lights and I'll laugh out loud in bed and Matt will think I've totally lost it.

Leave it to Kiki to tell it like it is! She's so damn funny. I don't ever want her to grow up.
