Talking to the Boy
Mommy are you a lady.
Yes honey I’m a lady.
But I’m not because I’m a BOY!
Yes, you are a boy.
And my sister is a little girl.
Mmhmm
And daddy isn’t a lady he’s a MAN!
That’s right.
Mommy why aren’t the Girl a boy?
Because she’s a girl.
But why.
Because she’s not a boy.
But why is she not a boy?
Because God made her a girl.
How come.
I don’t know.
But why did God make her a girl?
I don’t know.
But why is she a girl.
[exasperated] Because she is a girl she’s not a boy. She has girl parts not boy parts, just because.
[Also exasperated] BUT WHY????

But I want her to be a boy mommy.
[Under breath and sarcastically] Sorry about that, I’ll try harder next time.

Okay go to your room and color. [Sigh and look for lost brain cells. Give up a second later when daughter yells, “I hab POO!!”]

Nothing to do with this post. But I thought your wrap-up on MiM: “Maybe several of the women who gain weight in marriages have don’t actually feel that their husbands love them because, speaking from experience, when you really feel loved and accepted it is then that you feel empowered to change and grow and become your best self because you aren’t afraid anymore.”
…was absolutely brilliant.
Aren’t you glad all your intelligence and wit isn’t going to waste? You make me laugh.
This sounds SO much like conversations we have around our house all the time. Right down to the whole eating poo thing. Where do they get this stuff! And why? Why? Why? About everything! It’s amazing any of us Mamas make it through with a shred of sanity!
