Good Question!

I don't know what a blog is even. Can't believe I'm doing this....but SOMEBODY has to be interested in what I have to say...right?! Or maybe not, but too freaking bad - I love you too!

I am naming my blog page - Funny Stuff My Kids Say. I would say funny S*#% my kids say, but that might be inappropriate, and I think it has been coined already by William Schatner! So for now, this is a way for me to document things my kids say which I know will be funny to me now, which I might remember for a few months, but in time, will fade - like all other things in life. This way if I can share them with others, they will remember and remind me, "Remember, when Diana made that comment about the lady in the store..." Here goes!

Last night we took Diana to the movies. Just Diana with Mommy and Daddy. I was so excited to have some bonding time and absent mindedly thought...less expensive than going to say, the Cities to the Zoo or to a play, etc etc. I was wrong. Megamind in 3D was $26.50 in Cold Spring for 2 adults and 1 kid. Say wha?! I always thought Cold Spring was fairly priced compared to St. Cloud. Wrong! A little perturbed for a family who is losing half their income in 2 months! But, that said, to watch Diana in those cute little glasses get so excited about a movie was literally, PRICELESS. She talked a mile a minute about the movie, "ha ha Mom, did you see him..." It doesn't matter the money it cost, but the memories that we can we never replace!

Here comes the funny/awkward part......on the way home, Diana asks a VERY good question. A very serious question. She says to me, "Mom, why did my big sister Danielle grow in your belly like me but she has a different Mommy?" Yikes! I hadn't thought that one through! I rehearse these things, I know what I'm going to say about boys/girls, about potty mouth inappropriate words, you name it - I have rehearsed it! But, for some reason, I SO did not see this one coming! I responded by saying, "That is a very good question. Can I have a minute to think about how I can explain it in a way you will understand." "Sure Mom." I looked at Jay and said, "What the hell do I do know!" I got a giggle and a "I dunno." Great. Of course, not 2 minutes later and 2 questions about different subjects, "Mom, can you answer my question yet?" LOL. I kept it simple, as simple as I could...."Sometimes Mommy's have babies which they are not ready to take care of but another Mommy could take give a really good home, and when Mommy had Danielle I couldn't so Auntie Gail gave was able to give her a better home." Aah. With beads on my forehead, Diana said "Oh, I get it."
