I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stay sad for long. No matter how horrible, I have this irrepressible need to smile. So although I continue to choke up with every new article, post and link I read about the Katrina aftermath, I need to find some happier things to think about.<\/p>\n
And what is funnier than the things that come out of our blessedly innocent kids\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 mouths?<\/p>\n
For example, the one and only Snack Mommy is expecting a baby boy in December. In trying to give her son Tristan (great name, eh?) a little bit of perspective on the coming arrival, she has somehow stumbled into explaining that the baby will be making an entrance through the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Baby Door.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Having thought about it for a while, Tristan has posed these questions of his beleaguered mother:<\/p>\n
“How does the doctor close the baby door?”<\/p>\n
“I think the baby door will stay open for six months after the baby is born.”<\/p>\n
“Who let me out of the baby door, you, daddy, or the doctor?”<\/p>\n
“Is there a handle on the door or does it just swing open like a gate? Or maybe there is a button like an elevator?”<\/p>\n
“Did you and daddy build me before or after I came out of the baby door?”<\/p>\n
“Why did the doctor need to clean me up before you saw me, I wasn’t dirty!”<\/p>\n
“Do you pee so much because the baby is peeing inside you and it’s coming out your pee pee?”<\/p>\n
“I think you have that sharp bump in your tummy because the baby is wearing a crown. You know, those sharp jewels they have on top. I think your tummy will feel better when the baby is born\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 with a crown on it’s head.”<\/p>\n
“I think I should get up during the night to feed the baby mommy OK!?! The only problem, is I’m a little scared of walking down the dark hallway to get the baby some Cheerios so maybe you could come with me?” <\/p>\n
Adorable, eh? Not even four years old yet and he’ll make a fine scientist someday. Makes me quite relieved that my ownTristan was barely verbal when Simon arrived!<\/p>\n
