Just a few that have happened recently. Over time I may recall some things that happened a year ago or longer and record them too.

My neighbor just had a baby boy recently. When the neighbor came over to show us her baby, my girls "Ooohed" and "Aaaahed" over him. Then Bethany turned to her and said, "Good job! You hatched him out of your belly!"

Sticking with the same theme, earlier today I was on facebook looking at my sisters page. My sister is 7 months pregnant with her first baby. Bethany was sitting next to me and asked me, "How old is she?" I told her that she is 21. Bethany then said, "Oh. I thought she was 30." I asked her why she thought so. She told me, "Because mommy!! You told me that you have to be 30 to have a baby in your tummy!" It's true. When she saw the neighbors baby, she was saying she wanted a baby in her tummy, and I told her she had to wait until she is 30. Oops.

I was at Target last week with Shea. Shea was walking next to the cart while we shopped. Everything was fine until we passed the lingerie section. That is where Shea fell in love with a huge leopard print with black lace bra. Once I broke the news to her that I was not going to buy her the bra, she then lay on the floor clutching the bra and screaming, "I want the boobie clothes!!!"

A while back I taught Bethany that the proper word for her privates is "vagina". She pronounces it "Buh-jiba" (the i sounds like "eye"). well fast forward to yesterday. I was watching my friend's 2 year old son. I lay him down to change his diaper, and Bethany came along, looked over, and got this look of horror on her face. She said, "Oh no!!! Mommy look at his buh-jiba!!" So I finished changing him and he ran off to play. Then I explained to her that boys have a penis, not a vagina. Thats when Shea piped up and says in her know it all tone, "Yah, Benny! Boys have a beenis!" Then I talked to them about what is appropriate and all that.

I was sitting at the table working on some school work when I could hear Bethany approaching from behind me, and I heard the unmistakable sound of a Popsicle wrapper. The child had already had 3 and I had told her no more! So I told her, "I am closing my eyes! When I open my eyes, I had better not see a Popsicle in your hand!" So I counted to 3, then opened my eyes. Bethany was standing in front of me with a serious expression on her face and her hands behind her back. So I played along. "Bethany, is there something that you need?" She stood there a moment thinking hard, then slowly said, "Well mommy, have you noticed how hot it is...? I just started laughing out loud. I couldn't help myself.
