Say What? In the style of Mom Tried It

One of my favorite "mommy blogs" is Mom Tried It.  I check it every day just in case she has posted something new - and usually I love every post!  One of my favorite regularly occuring posts is the "Say What?" post she puts up every week.  It's something she has had to actaully say to her children that out or even in context is so funny - one would never have thought they would utter such words as a parent. 

So this morning I had a very "Say What?" moment with Gabriel.

"Gabriel, you will never have eat anything that causes baby kittens to grow in your belly."  Yup - I said it. 

Out of nowhere, Gabe lauched in to this story this morning in the car on the way to school about eating something and each bite turned in to a little baby kitten in his belly.  Then the baby kittens would grow and pop out of his belly.  Hence my comment above....

Don't ask me where he got that one from....I have no idea.  After being a bit blown away by the randomness of the story, I was slightly more impressed by his creativity.  Then of course Alex had to get in on the action and tell me that he had babies growing in his belly as well.  We had a little (very simple) anatomy lesson about how that was not going to happen (at least not without some serious medical advancements!) and he seemed to be ok with it at that point.

Some things you never expect when you become a parent....this little gems definitely fall in to that category.  But at least it isn't boring!  :)
