Simon has never asked many of those questions about where babies come from, etc. Well, I think I have just figured out why...

Tonight we were snuggling before bedtime. It was nice.
Suddenly, he rolled over and whispered in my ear, "I'm so glad you guys hatched us."

WHAT?!?!

I started giggling. He became slightly indignant...
"You SAID there was an egg in your belly, right mom?!"
I did? It must have been Daddy who mentioned the egg part.

Listen, it's 7:30 pm. I have been cleaning dishes, resetting the Wii, clipping coupons, and all of those other nameless tasks that fall into the quotidian mystery category ALL DAY. In that moment I didn't have the brain power to discuss female reproductive systems,
SO,
I deferred and explained the wonders of adoption instead.
:)
Goodnight.
