A Conversation With My Kids At The Local Target


N: You know that disgusting thing that people do to make babies?
Me: (glancing around to see if anyone overheard) Ummmmm - yes??????
N: I hate that. Especially the part about the shower.
Me: What part about the shower?
N: You know - the disgusting part.
Me: Um - I think that you might be a little bit confused. Let's talk about this when we get home - okay?
N: I am not confused! I just hate the part about the shower!
A: You are confused! You don't do it in a shower. You do it on a bed!
Me: Okay - let's keep our voices down and discuss this at home okay?
N: Fine but I will still hate the shower part. You know. When you get naked and take a baby shower.


Parental Note: Confusion was cleared up at home - where patrons of Target were no longer within hearing distance.

THAT is too funny! It's amazing how many phrases like that can totally throw a kid off. They're so literal (especially in public places, like Target). :)

ROFL-Good story! Of COURSE that conversation couldn't occur within th efour walls of your home, or even in the car. At least it wasn't at church.
