You would not believe some of the conversations I've had with my kids. Last night, I had a rather interesting one with my teenage daughter. I was helping her study for a science test which involved discussing the topic of reproduction.
"Did you know that men can produce milk?" she asked.
"No they can't!" I said.
"Yes, they can. Look." She pointed an article she found on the internet. "They have the hormones to do it. I bet if a baby sucked hard enough, some milk would come out."
I tried very hard not to laugh. "I bet in the whole history of the world, there has not been a single man who has produced one drop of milk for a baby!"
She was very insistent. "But they have the ducks to do it!"
The ducks?
(She quickly caught her mistake, and we both started laughing. So much for that study session!)
Do the ducks know about this?
ReplyDeleteI am guessing they don't. ;0)
DeleteLOL ducks that milk men. Now there's something you don't hear every day.
ReplyDeleteIt's a first at my pad!
DeleteI don't think I'm even going to touch that line...
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Right. Nothing more to be said!
Delete*LOL* Ducks have that magical effect, I suppose!
ReplyDeleteDucks are magical creatures!
Deletewell we do have the milk glands but no hormones to trigger them
ReplyDeleteSupposedly you do, but the amount of those hormones in your body is so low, that it is highly unlikely you will ever produce one drop of milk. ;0)
DeleteMen just don't have their ducks in a row I guess lol
ReplyDeleteHaha! It would be funny to see what would happen if those ducks ever lined up!
DeleteI still have interesting conversations with my children. Talking to them is always the highlight of my day, my month, my year, my whole life.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
It's funny to see how their brains work, and to think that you helped produce such offspring!
DeleteMen had better beware... they've become 'sitting ducks' LOL
ReplyDeleteHa! At least according to my daughter they are!
DeleteIf a baby sucked hard enough, some milk would come out? Say it ain't so!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd test that hypothesis if I were you! ;0)
DeleteCan they? Don't think so...but ducks maybe...*ponders*
ReplyDeleteI think we'd better look this one up on the internet. ;0)
DeleteLet's see if those men are up to telling the truth. They can bring their ducks. Very funny.
ReplyDeleteBabies might like the ducks. ;0)
DeleteWouldn't want to be on the recieving end
ReplyDeleteYes. I don't think it would be pleasant!
DeleteI've heard the same thing. I also heard that guys are sensitive like girls. I'm not going to be the one to test either theory.
ReplyDeleteHa! I don't blame you!
Deletelol- Kids definitely give us a fresh perspective on things. :)
ReplyDelete~Jess
You never know what they're going to come up with!
DeleteHA! That quacked me up.
ReplyDeleteHer curiosity is trying to explore the world and as a mother you should help her to explore like you did. Great mummy.
ReplyDeleteThanks! ;0)
DeleteLol. I'm going to laugh today if I hear someone say ducks.
ReplyDeleteI bet you're never going to look at a duck the same way!
DeleteWhen I stop laughing maybe I can think of something to say. :)
ReplyDeleteThe visual on that is rather comical isn't it? ;0)
DeleteHee, hee! I'll never think of ducks in the same way again!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I'm thinking!
DeleteAt least your kid stood by her claim for a while, some insistence I might add. That's great character :)
ReplyDeleteShe knows her mind!
DeleteLOL!!
