Bound To Make You Laugh A Little

I delight in listening to the things these girls say each day. They can be quite entertaining! Sometimes I can even remember them well enough to write them down. I knew that diaper changes would prove to be interesting and trigger a few questions once we had a boy in the family. We have chosen to just be honest in answering the question "What's that?" when asked. Because of such, the word "penis" is often bandied about at times other than diaper changes. This can make for some pretty funny conversations. The other day, Sarah Grace asked, "Mom what is the first planet?" I told her it was Mercury. She said, "What's the second planet?" I said "Venus." Do you see where this is going? She then said, "Like Joey has a penis!" I said, "No, Sarah Grace, Venus. With a V." She also informed me a couple of weeks ago that "when Joey grows up, he won't have a penis anymore". Not sure where she got that information, but I tried to correct it! Never boring around here, I promise.

We've often discussed what good little lawyers children can be. You know, when you tell them they can't do something and then you find out they've done it and you call them on it and they try to get off on a technicality. At this point, Lainey is especially good at it. I heard her arguing with Sarah Grace yesterday and Sarah Grace said, "Hey, you kicked me, " to which Lainey said, "It was more like a push." Maybe the answer to my college fund quandries is a scholarship to law school!!
