Weird conversations I have had with my pre-schooler this week…
(Any insights/interpretation most welcome)
Him: Mummy, we need a flower house.
Me: What’s a flower house?
Him: You know, like the one we saw.
Me: When love? Where?
Him: You know Mummy! The one with the man on the roof and the soft-play.
Me: *Blank stare*
Him: If Daddy’s head gets any bigger we will need a bigger house.
Me: Hmmm?
Him: But don’t worry Mummy it probably won’t happen.
Me: That’s good.
Him: Yes, you’ll probably die before then.
Me: *Blank stare*
Him: Mummy why can’t boys have babies in their tummies?
Me: Because that’s what girls have to do love.
Him: Why? How did you make a baby?
Me: Well, it takes a long time to grow a baby…
Him: Yes, this one is taking AGES.
Me: *Horrified blank stare*
(STAND DOWN GRANNY I AM NOT, REPEAT NOT, PREGNANT AGAIN)
Him: Mummy I had a horrible dream last night.
Me: Really love, what happened?
Him: A truck came.
Me: A truck?
Him: Yep, and then we died. But we all get fat in heaven.
Me: *Looks for wine*

His expression there is one of “put that on your blog and smoke it.”

It’s interesting how their little mind works isn’t it? My eldest use to talk a lot about death too when she was your LO’s age. Thanks for linking to the #pinitparty
