These small simple pleasures that make up a life

This is a DS1 funny.  And since I’m not being productive atm anyway (unless one considers debating spending $15 to ship a $30 box of chocolates for a Fathers Day gift “productive”) thought I’d share.

About this time 3 years ago, I was just pregnant with DS2&3 (although we didn’t yet know it was a BOGO deal).  We we were introducing the idea of babies in tummies to DS1.  There was some book from the library that gave all the details including a side view / cross section kind of picture of a pregnant mommy that showed how the uterus is inside the belly and the baby is inside the uterus.

So, one day I’m reading “The Places You Will Go” to DS1 and we get to the page that says “You’ll find the bright places where Boom Bands are playing” and I’m pointing to each picture and saying what it is.  There’s a picture of a Dr. Seuss-esque guitar so I point to it and say what’s this?  And he says “That a uterus, Mommy.”  All matter-of-factly.  It’s just not something you expect to hear from the mouth of a 2 y.o.  I just about died.  :-) Of course, then I tried to correct him, but he was not to be dissuaded from the idea that it was a uterus.  Finally I just moved on, leaving him to think what he wanted to.
