I have some pretty strange conversations with my kids. Here's one I had yesterday with my eight-year-old son:
"Mama, could I see anything when I was in your stomach?"
"Well Bubba, first of all, you weren't in my stomach, because if you were, the acid in my stomach would have destroyed you."
Bubba nodded. "And then I would've come out as poop."
"Um, yeah. Something like that."
I continued. "You were in my uterus, and I really don't know if you could see anything."
"But what about the belly button?"
I looked at my kid funny. "What about it?"
"Isn't that like a little window? Couldn't I see out the belly button?"
"Bubba, seriously? Have you looked at your belly button lately? There's no possible way you can see in or out of your body through your belly button!"
He grinned. "But your belly button is special. It's a Mama belly button!"
Had to laugh at the poop comment. But then I was like, awww when your son said your belly button is special because it's a Mama belly button! You and your kids certainly have some interesting conversations. : )
ReplyDeleteThat we do!
DeleteLMAO the poop comment got me too. Could have xray vision, never know.
ReplyDeleteI thought that was kind of funny, too.
DeleteAw, that's so sweet!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely memorable!
Delete*LOL* That's so cute. When I was pregnant, my son use to kick at the belly button all the time. I thought he could really tell something was there!
ReplyDeleteMaybe he could!
DeleteOh, you and your kids are so darn cute. I could eat you all with a spoon.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Hahaha! Oh, please don't eat us!
DeleteHe is curious about life which is really great!
ReplyDeleteYes, he's definitely curious - and also a little mixed up!
DeleteHa ha. I love these conversations.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, aren't they?
DeleteHaha...your son sounds so adorable. :) That would be a little freaky though, if it was real. Think about it--a tiny fetus peering out of your bellybutton. You'd have to wear half shirts all the time so they'd have a view of everything--consult them about what shows they wanted to watch. Are there speakers installed in the belly-button as well? haha...Okay, I'll stop now...
ReplyDeleteSpeakers in the belly button? Hmmm. I'm not sure. I thought the belly button was just a button to press to listen to music. :)
DeleteYou do have some very interesting conversations with your children! But that is an interesting concept . . . isn't the heart the window to the soul? Something like that :)
ReplyDeleteI thought that was the "eyes," but maybe it's the belly button. ;)
DeleteHaha,your poop statement is so funny. You always have interesting conversations with your kids. That would be so weird if there are actually belly button peep hole. :)
ReplyDeleteThat would be really weird!
Deletehaha--yeah i guess we do tend to tell our kids that they are in our stomachs huh :)
ReplyDeleteI always thought I had used proper terminology. Maybe I messed up somewhere along the line. :)
DeleteI love thinking of the belly button as a little window.
