: Butterflyfish"Mommy I want a baby"
Excerpts from the first "where babies come from" conversation we've ever had with our son:
BS: Do you think we can get one at WalMart?
CF: No Papa! They don't have babies there. We have to go to the baby store.
* Bullshark was summarily banished from the conversation for bringing up storks. *
* After an explanation involving how Mommies grow babies in their tummies and Papas help put the baby there, and finally understanding it takes a long time to grow a baby and that Mommy doesn't have a baby yet but when she does, she'll let you know. *
CF: I will dream about babies tonight and I want a girl like baby [female cousin] or like my friend Jeremy who has a girl baby. I will call her.... I will call her.... you will tell me her name and I will call her that.
CF: I want you to have a baby. I want all the teachers at my pre-school to carry babies. I want everyone to have babies. I will be so nice to the babies.
CF: So girls carry babies and boys don't?
BFF: Right
CF: So I can't grow up and carry a baby? I want to carry a baby.
BFF: No honey, but you will help when you're big.
CF: So can I help the girls in my pre-school class have babies?
Bullshark's response to the whole thing: This is more pressure than from four grandparents combined.
As for me:
I am trying to decide whether or not to give the pre-school teacher a heads-up, or just wait to see how this conversation gets translated tomorrow . . .

Yip, yip says the baby coyote
Dear K,When you're old enough to read this, I hope you'll forgive me. But I'm really glad it's the 21st century and I can have a career of my own, because if my biggest intellectual achievement every day was reading you "Baby Animals of the Southwest" seventeen times in a row, I think I would have to throw myself out the nearest window...
