Maybe I'm forgetting , because it was 29 years ago that I was a kindergartner. Or maybe I'm just being naive because it is my clan that I am talking about, but I don't recall questioning my parents about the things my children are questioning me about.
The other day, Angel began to inquire about all sorts of marital matters.
"Mom? Can two people live together even if they aren't married?"
I tried to explain that people do live with their significant others, but that it was not right in God's eyes.
And then she took it a step further.
"Well if they can't live together, can they still have babies?"
I was SO afraid that the next question was going to be, "Where do babies come from?" and I'm absolutely, positively sure, I am NOT ready to answer that question!
I'm not 100% sure where this is coming from, but I have my thoughts about who the child is.
And I'm pretty sure it's not the same child who taught my kids a new term for testicles when he happily wrote and illustrated in his journal yesterday, "The baseball hit me in the nuggets."
And I'm pretty sure when I was in kindergarten 29 years ago, that nuggets were the chicken pieces we ordered at the Mc Donald's drive-thru window!
What is this world coming to?

Us too with the questions. More about puberty though. Although Kendra is under the impression that to have more babies a married couple just has to renew their wedding vows and the lady will be pregnant.
