More words from the Wise Prince

Normally I try to only post one blog per day - but this day I have to post two, only to share the wise words from My Prince, who is 4 years old.

Last night we were sitting in the living room, just having our "mommy & me" moment.  Out of the blue, he said, "Mama, I want a baby sister for Christmas."

*choke*

"Um sweeite, mama's not having anymore babies," I replied, then added the thought that mama told the doctor to make sure she's not capable of breeding anymore.

"But mama, I wanna be a big brother like my big brothers!"  Aw.  What a cute kid.

"Well honey, you can go talk to Daddy about that," I answered, with a chuckle as I pictured my ex-husband's face in reponse to his son's request.

"MAMA!  Babies don't go into the daddy's tummy!  They only go into the mommy's tummy!  You hafta give me a baby sister!" 

*choke* 

Since when did my kid get so smart??  Luckily, he became distracted when I fixed his Transformer and the thoughts of having a baby sister suddenly vanished from his mind.  *whew*  I'll forever be grateful to Optimus Prime for saving me from THAT conversation.

  1. Came by to read your "Not Me", but got waylaid by this post...

    Your son sounds like such a sweetie! I have been wrestling with the decision to have another child, and I wonder if one day, my daughter will ask me for a sibling and if I'll be ready to give her one. Great food for thought with this post!
