Baby Talk

Talking with Jo this morning

me: Jo, should mommy have any more babies?

Jo: Yes!

Me: How many?

Jo: 2

Me: Are they boys or girls?

Jo: Boys

Me: What are their names?

Jo: Daddy and Noah

Me: Hmmmm

I text John. Tell him the news. Any impressions? I ask. He texts back. NOT THOSE NAMES!

Speaking with DeeKen this afternoon while eating cereal.

Dee: Mom, how do they make cereal?

Me: I don't know Dee how do we make you?

Dee: God made me!

Me: Yes, but how did He get you here?

Dee: Jesus sent me?

Me: How? By plane? By Mail?

Dee: No, not by mail.

Me: How?

Dee: I don't' know.

Me: You know how mommies get big tummies when they are going to have babies?

Dee: No they don't.

Me: Yes they do. The baby is growing inside them. You grew inside me.

Dee: (Looks at my tummy.) That means you were in grandmas tummy.

Me: yep.

Dee: How long ago?

Me: Oh.... thirty one years ago, I would have been in grandma's tummy.

Dee: hmmm.

A little later, after some other talk and me pondering.

Me: How do we get back to Heavenly Father?

Dee: Our heart stops beating.

Me: Oh, like grandpa.

Dee: Yep, like grandpa Ken.

Reminds me of Sunday morning. John and I are laying in bed. Dee comes in.

Dee: Mom, when are we going to see grandpa Ken again?

Me: Not anytime soon.

Dee: When though?

Me: When Jesus comes again.

Dee: When Jesus comes again? When is that?

Me: No man knoweth the hour baby.

Who knew I could wax so philisophical early on a Sunday morning! He seemed to accept the answer and left.
