My daughter asked me today when her belly button was going to fill in. And once again, I was struck dumb by a 5-year-old girl. I eventually explained that it never fills in but this did not satisfy her. Actually, I’m still not sure if she thinks I was joking or if she is just disappointed.

Tonight while watching a TV show (in which a pregnant woman was getting married) my 6 year old girl asked “How can they have a baby if they aren’t married.” The wife started to explain as I quickly manuevered the Tivo over to some Looney Tunes. Saved the day. They are too young to even worry or be thinking about that right now. BUT, at least we know they are paying attention. (The 8 year old girl just sat there through the whole thing and didn’t say a word).
