So the other day, Elliot accosts me in the bathroom.

"Mommy, what are you doing?"

"Shaving my bits." (Oh yeah, you're all like TMI, TMI! But really, it's not that bad, and it's integral to the story. Just suck it up.)

"What does bits do, Mommy?"

"Well, when you're an adult they grow hair."

"They grow hair?"

"Yup."

"Are you shaving your penis, Mommy?"

"No, honey, Mommy doesn't have a penis. Boys bits are penises. What I have is called a Vagina."

"A Jina?"

"Close enough."

"But what does bits do Mommy?"

"Well, they grow hair. And also, when you're an adult, you can use them to have sex, and make a baby."

"What does Jinas do, Mommy?

"Well, like I said, they grow hair, and they have sex, and then babies come out of them when they're born. You and Charlotte both came out of my Vagina."

(at this point Elliot looks skeptically at this particular portion of my anatomy)

"But, how does the baby get in there, Mommy?"

"Well, when your an adult and you're ready to have a baby, a man puts his penis in a woman's vagina, and thewoman has part of the baby, and the man has part of the baby, and the parts go together and a baby grows out of them, and when the baby is done baking, it comes out the woman's vagina."

"The parts go together?"

"Yup. They're very tiny. Like when we plant seeds in Mommy's garden and the plants grow from the seeds. Theseeds are very tiny and they grow big plants, and the parts of the baby inside Mommy and Daddy are very small, and they grow babies. Sometimes."

"Bits grow hair?"

"Yup."

Colossal sigh and shrug

"What next?"

Later he tells his Yaya the following information: Babies grow like seeds in gardens. The parts go together and then they bake and come out Jinas. And when you're into adult, bits grow hair.

:)

Since I've related a conversation with Elliot, it seems only fair to do the same for Charlotte.

"Hi Miss Cha Chizzle."

"Bleeeerrrrrrraah."

"Really?

"aaaaaaaAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGHHHH."

"Okay, hold your horses, I need coffee first."

"ANGAH angah ANGAH!"

"I don't actually think your head will explode in the time it takes me to pour my coffee."

"AGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE."

"Or, I could be wrong."

Okay, so, seriously, I'm only sending this email out because someone mentioned to be that it had been ages since I sent any pictures of Charlotte. And I have a ton and will post them to the internets soon, but, in themeantime, here are pictures of both my charming children. :)

The stories are just an added bonus.
