The greatest thing about being a parent is that up until the age of 13, your kids take every word you say as gospel. Granted, this does tend to bite you in the ass when the information is shared on the playground.
My 9 year old: "Tiger Woods is probably gonna die soon from a disease you can get from having too many girlfriends."
Other 9 year old: "How do you know?"
My 9 year old : "My mom told me."
Listen. It's not totally out of the question.
Anyway. So this morning we had the following dialogue regarding nutrition:
Her: "Is the sugar in fruit just as bad as the sugar in candy?"
Me: "No. Your body uses fruit sugar for energy but stores bad sugar like bread as fat."
Her: "You mean your body puts the bread right in your butt?"
Her: "That's mean..."
Me: "It IS mean."
Her: "Can you ever get it out?"
Me:" If you stop eating bad sugar it'll go away. Or you can have an operation."
Her: "There's an operation to get the bread out of your butt?"
Her: "Do they just cut it off?"
Me: "No. They vacuum it out."
Her:" Does it hurt to vacuum bread out of your butt?"
Me: "Yes. "
Her: "But not as much as having a baby right?"
Me: "Nothing hurts as much as having a baby. That's why women are actually stronger than men."
Her: "I'm never having a baby."
Me: "Well you don't have to."
Her: "On 'Glee', Quinn said Puck made her pregnant...how does a boy make a girl pregnant?"
Me: "He can't unless the girl wants to be pregnant and they get permission from God."
Mom Facts. Because We Said So.
