Note: This blog contains some gross information so unless
you want to get all up in our personal business stop reading. You’ve been
warned. Know that the kids know a lot
about reproductive things because of the surrogacy we’ve done (although they
do not all know the ‘how’ a baby is made they know what is needed for the baby
to grow).
This story comes after several months of horrible menstrual cycles
that have caused crippling pain and multiple incidents of blood gushes causing
what looks like murder scenes on the floor.
::I pick the kids up from school and Eli runs up to me::
Eli: Hi Mommy
Me: Hey buddy, how was school?
Eli: Good! Why are you here?
Me: To pick you up so we can go to church
Eli: ::looks puzzled for a moment:: Oh, you can leave the
house because there are paper towels at school and church!
Me: huh?
Eli: So, if like your period is really bad and there’s lots
of blood you can just use paper towels to clean it all up ::saying this at full
volume as more kids are being picked up by parents all around us::
Me: Um, I guess, but I’m fine so I don’t need to worry about
that
Eli: but just in case
Me: Sure
::a few minutes later::
Eli: Mommy?
Me: What?
Eli: Mommy?
Me: What?
Eli: Mommy?
Me: What?
Eli: Mommy?
Me: ::silence::
Eli: ::finally begins talking:: I know why we don’t have space
ships don’t exist
Me: Why?
Eli: Because we don’t have enough money to build it. But
when we do we can make one and go back in time
Me: No, it is just not a real thing buddy. We can’t travel
in time.
Eli: But if you did, you can’t change anything! Like with
the guy and his kite. If you cut the string on the kite, then we’d never
discover electricity.
Me:… sure buddy.
