So after writing my post this morning about The Big Question, I was feeding my boys lunch and we were chatting. Here is part of the conversation that we had. (Note: Austin is my four year old, Matthew is my two and a half year old.)
Austin: When I am a big man, I will grow a baby boy in my tummy and then he will come out and I will be so excited to see the baby boy.
Me: Well... actually, boys don't grow babies in their tummies, just girls do.
Austin: No. I will grow a baby boy. Girls grow baby girls.
Me: Not really. Just -
Austin: (interrupting me) And when Matthew was little, he was in my tummy for fifteen years, and then he came out!
Wow. I have a lot more to teach them I guess... I am certainly glad that my gestation period is not fifteen years. 40 weeks is long enough for me.

That was funny. Thanks for the post.
I loved your story! My 3-year-old son nursed his Cabbage Patch doll while I nursed his baby sister. I used to worry. Now he has 4 kids of his own and they love that story! It's good to remember the funny things for future reference!
Hhaha that is too funny. Thanks for sharing
Funny funny! I love how he paid no attention to our tutelage.
