Ow ouch. Ow ow ow. Ouch.
What’s wrong honey?
You hurt me.
What part of you did I hurt?
You hurt my feelings when you talked to me in a rude voice.
Sweetie, I know they are scary, but I really don’t believe ghosts actually exist.
Yeah well, I don’t know as many things as you do. I’m only four and you’re like, infinity.
At some ungodly hour of the night.
Mommy?
*sighs* What?
I love you more than infinity.
Why are you having such a hard time falling asleep tonight?
Because I HATE falling asleep. And I HATE mornings.
Why do you hate mornings?
Because I only get two choices, toast with jam or cereal with milk.* And I HATE toast with jam.
But you like cereal.
But I HATE how it gets mushy and you say “get back in your chair or your cereal will get mushy” whenever I get up to play. And I HATE mushy cereal. I only like cereal with no milk.
Oh. But then we take Raphie to the bus and you get special time with mommy.
But then I ask “where’s Raphie” and you say at school, and then I miss him and I HATE that.
Some mornings are pretty miserable it’s true.
*totally untrue - she does usually only get two choices, but we never suggest toast with jam since she HATES it so much.
In the middle of the night.
Mommy, mommy!
*stumbles across hall*
Why do you need Mummy so much?
‘Cause her is my grown up.
The problem is I’m not four or five or something. I’m only three and a half, which is still pretty little.”
God chose perfectly when he put us together
How did he do that?
Well he looked at you and said I know the right mommy for you, and put you in my belly.
But how did he put me in your belly, was it magic?
Well it’s complicated. Mommy and daddy make a baby and then God looks at all the souls and chooses who that baby will be
How do mommy and daddy make the baby start growing?
Daddy puts a seed inside mommy and that seed makes an egg start growing, and that egg turns into a person.
But how does the seed get inside you?
It’s very late sweetie, it’s time for us to stop talking and go to sleep.
