Kids say the darndest things!

Here is a glimpse of the conversation that was had a few nights ago at the dinner table . . .

Part I:
Cayel: "Daddy, you have a baby in your tummy?"

Josh: (Looking at me like I forgot to fill him in on something). "No, boys don't have babies in their tummies."

Cayel: (Lifting up his shirt to look at his belly). "Me don't have a baby in my tummy."

Cayel: "Mommy, you have a baby in your tummy?"

Marcy: "No honey, mommy doesn't have a baby in her tummy either."

Cayel: "Me want a baby. Me want a sista."

Marcy (thinking): "Ummmm . . . "

Josh: "Eat a bite of your chicken Cayel."

Marcy (thinking): "Good answer."

Part II (a few nights later):
Cayel: (Lifting his shirt to point to his belly). "Me's tummy hurts."

Marcy: (Feeling his forehead hoping that it isn't the flu). "Do you have to throw up?"

Cayel: "No. Me have a baby in there."

Marcy: (Trying not to laugh). "Really? How did you get a baby in your tummy?"

Cayel: "At the grocery store."

Marcy: LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY - Oh yea, DAHHH!

Oh the innocence and sweetness of children. If only we could live life through their eyes for a day :)!

** Now, for those of you secretly wondering where all this "baby in my tummy" talk is coming from, there are two moms at Cayel's daycare that are pregnant and have "babies (or a baby) in their tummies. **

He is fasinated and it's his newest phase. Let's just hope he doesn't start asking where they come from at the age of 3 . . .
