Things Kids Say Tuesday

Riding in the car on the way to take Alyssa to school she asked an odd question, "if I eat a lot will I get a baby in my tummy?". Before realizing where I would head this discussion with one sentence, I replied " no that's not how babies get in tummies". I am sure you can guess just what came next.

A- Then how do babies get in bellies?

It sometimes happens after you get big (older) and you are supposed to be married first.

A- oh ok, you prayed for babies?

Yes, I prayed for a girl & God gave me you, I prayed for a boy and He gave me Ty, and then for another girl and He gave me Kailey.

A- Then could you pray for another boy? cause I want one more brother.

LOL You really never know what they are thinking about until they surprise you with it like this!

Car Chat

Alyssa and I just had another one of our chats/discussions in the car. What was the topic today?

Blood.

What did she want to know?

A. Why do we have blood in our bodies?
Me. It helps keep us alive.
A. Where is blood in my body?
Me. There are little tunnels called veins & it takes the blood all over.
Did you know that drinking water helps make blood in your body?
(ok so admittedly I'm not sure this is true or not but I was hoping to get her to drink more water lol)

A. I like water. I don't want to loose all my blood, that's why when I get a booboo we put on a bandaid.




Ok so this chat was a little strange, especially for a 4yo. You really never know what will come out of a kid's mouth!
