Where sisters come from

This weekend, I woke up to Little Guy grinning at me. We did the good mornings, and for some reason, where he came from came up again. He was a homebirth, and I reconfirmed to him that yes, he was born in *A* house, although not *this* house, but that yes, he was born out of my tummy and onto *this* bed.

He nods. Smiles a little. (remember, he's 4-1/2 years old) Then he says that Mermaid, his older sister, must have been bought from the Zoo. From the bird house, to be specific.

I cracked up.

He started laughing, too; I think he'd been concocting that scenerio for a while!

Once in a while, he comes out with these little zingers. I love my son.

I wanted a homebirth, I just didn't want it in the home I was in! :) (this one, pre renovated).

Oh, tell me about it. We wanted the baby to be born in our present house. The house he was born in was rented, and I HATED it (shitty floorplan, etc). But the owners of the house we bought wanted *three* months before we could move in, not the usual one. Ah well.

LOL, that's too cute. Kids are so precocious.

Awww, Julie, that is so cute. Sounds like he's just as clever as Nerys.

When I was a kid, all those years ago, my older brother and I had my baby brother convinced that he'd been found in a ditch one afternoon by my father. Poor thing.

I think a bird house is a much kinder scenario. *s* Kids, eh?

My older brother and sister tried to convince me that I was adopted. A common ploy, and I didn't buy it == mostly because, at age 4 or 5, I had no real idea what being adopted really meant, and I knew they were always full of shit anyway. :-)
