ahhh, the honesty of 3 year olds

i had to pick up a few things at wal-mart this evening after i picked the boys up. not usually a great idea since they are normally tired after a day at the babysitters and just ready to get home, but we desperately needed some items for their lunches the next day. so off we went.

they actually did really well for the most part. miles started melting, but overall better than some other disastrous trips, so i was pretty pleased. i had just finished paying so i was about to make it out of there with my sanity in tact (seems to be a lot harder to do these days...) when ethan starts up a short, but oh so very embarrasing conversation with me. and mind you, he is not being at all quiet about this.

"momma, see the baby behind us?"

"yes, there is a baby boy."

"momma, you have a baby in your belly!"

"yes, i have your baby sister in my belly."

at this point, it is still fine and cute and i see the people behind me smiling and nodding.

then this...

"momma, did daddy put the baby in your belly?"

oh lord. i don't remember what i said, i mumbled some sort of response. i see the people behind us trying not to laugh. i got out of there as quickly as i could.

of course i immediately called lance who thought it was hilarious...he wished he had been there. he told me at least ethan didn't ask if someone else put the baby in my belly. i have absolutely no idea why he even asked that! i know this isn't the last time the boys will embarrass me but it was enough for one day!
