If there are any Members of the Male Species that read this blog...... Don't read this post......
If you are not a member of the male species and are only here to check on my food journey... this one may not be for you either...
OK, now that we have that settled...Females, you may continue:
When Veg was little, he had the cutest questions about his parts and girls, life in general, while he was trying to figure out how he got here..... What chemical makes Lightening Bugs light up and why birds can sit on electric wires with out getting shocked. You know all things that a 2 or 3 year old would ponder. (or just mine)
Anyway:
We had some great toddler size conversations that turned in to humorous blog posts. But as he has grown up and his questions more serious and life becomes real all around him. I try not to post too much of what he says. As I wouldn't necessarily want someone doing that to me. AND... I wouldn't want anything to come back and bite him on the Web 20 years from now.... Not to mention his trust and privacy should be respected as he grows.
BUT... On this day he learned about the eggs that we Human Ladies Lay... and all that goes along with it during our Monthly visits. Then he tries to put all the info together... and it is a MUST SHARE...
In case any of you have kids that randomly ask some thing like this:
"So if I started out as an egg, did my hands pop through the shell and grab the umbilical cord so that I didn't fall out during your monthly problem?"
Seriously, consider this a public service announcement...
MOTHERS, If you have an inquisitive child, DO NOT, Start your morning with the REAL reason you Can't go swimming that day... I promise you, the questions will last.... A-L-L D-A-Y LONG!!
"Mom, has your egg come out yet"
"Mom, What happened to the rest of the swimmers that didn't make it in to my egg"
"Hey Mom, do I have eggs or sper-swimmers?"
We discussed why I was drinking Lemon Water this morning, and how it reduces swelling which makes me feel better on those days.
So all 30 times I had to go the bathroom today, I would hear this....
"There goes that lemon, washing the egg away again"
"Gosh Mom, is it gone yet?"
"How Many eggs do you have, anyway?"
We talked about how sometimes I don't feel 100% on that one day because my body is working extra hard to do all it needs... and then I hear from the peanut gallery:
"OOOOhhhhh that's why Dad says I should stay out of your way sometimes.... that egg must be coming out"
*nice*
We discussed how some women have more problems with this, that I don't have because of the diet I've chosen and all the wonderful greens I eat every day. How in 2 days this will all be gone until next month.
Then his smart little self says... "So you have this lady problem every month until your old?"
<Yup, pretty much>
"How does it stop? When your old, do those inside parts shrivel up?"
<Hmmm? Sort of...>
"How old will you be when everything shrivels up?"
"Is NeeNee all shriveled up?"
<If I say yes, can we end this conversation for today?"
"So when ladies get to Menopause, where do the eggs go?
<Ready to go play Putt Putt?>
Its called Redirecting People... And it works!..........THANK GOODNESS!!
