"Show Me Your ______!"

Now I know kids are full of questions, that's part of being a kid. I also know that kids love to say interesting things whenever they have an audience, as I said, it's a kid thing. Moms know these things, right? Well, I may know these things but nothing could have prepared me for this interesting request Ashley sprung on me.

Our neighbors, John & Lenore popped over to visit yesterday evening. The guys were in another room doing their thing and us gals were hanging in the living room. Ashley showed Lenore her new book, Where Babies Come From. At that point I realized the conversation was going to take an interesting turn, but I wasn't sweating it. Lenore is a mom and an extremely logical person, so she rolled with the punches and helped me answer the questions Little Miss was throwing at me. We were treated to some great insights too,like how your belly button looks like the tied off end of a balloon. Ashley's might, mine looks like a huge sink hole. Anyway,things went along just fine, I felt good about our group girl talk.

Then Ashley says "Show me your uterus!" My jaw drops and I'm just speechless. I've heard some strange request before, but nothing half as unique as that. Trying to keep my composure, and I'm afraid I didn't do to well, I explain that I cannot just remove it to let her take a peek. It occurs to me this was much funnier as it was happening than it is now. I fielded some more questions like
"Where is your uterus?"
"Um, inside me, Sweetie."
"Where?"
Pointing to my ample gut area "In that general vicinity someplace." I know, I am such a brilliant mother.

I'm not sure how, but we got off that topic, thankfully. Some days are so weird when you're a Mommy!

What's the best question or request your kids have ever come up with?
