Inquisitive.

Arden:  Mommy, how did you know I was in your tummy after Lily?

Me:  Well, I started to get a big belly!

Arden:  Ummm.  Okay.  So how did the baby get there? Like, ummm, how did you make it? Can you just make one by yourself?

Lily:  Someone at school told me that your daddy carries half of it, and the mommy carries the other half.

Me:  *chokes/snorts* Trust me, girls, daddies do NOT carry babies.  Only mommies.

Arden: So can you make one by yourself?

Me:  No, you need the daddy to help.

Arden:  So what do you need to make love?

Me:  *freaking* - my child just said ‘make love’!!!  !!!!

Arden:  I mean, what are the ‘gredients in love?  How do you make it?

Me:  *ooooohhhh/laughing* Well, there are no ingredients.  You know how you feel about Thora, or me, or Daddy, or Lily?  That’s love.  It’s natural.  You don’t have to mix it, there are no ingredients - you don’t even have to bake it.

Arden:  Okay, well, then I want to make some when we get home. Without ‘gredients.  Can we do that today? 

Lily:  I knew that boy was lying about daddies carrying half the baby.  That just makes no sense.

You are on to something, smart Lily!  Boys will lie about a lot of things…especially if it makes them look like they’ve done some hard work. wink

This was awesome, Homes…I was smiling through it all.  I love it!

That is the cutest thing I have heard in a while.  I was giggling all the way through it.

OMG that’s hysterical (but only because it wasn’t me having to do the explaining). The ‘gredients had me cracking up the most.
