This weekend the following conversation occurred between Molly and I... But before I go into any great detail -- Please note that the majority of my "NOTABLE" conversations with the children occur AFTER John leaves the room for some strange reason??...
You can probably guess what happens next...
EXIT JOHN STAGE LEFT...
ENTER MOLLY STAGE RIGHT...
Molly: When you have a baby, I’m kicking Mack out of our room and I’m going to share my room with the baby.
E: (hands in soapy dish water) Mol, what are you talking about? There IS NO baby, thus, there will be no kicking Mack out of his room?
Molly: (hands on hips) Eeeeeeeeeeeeee, you saidddddddddddddddd when you were 30 you would have a baby~~~!!!!!!!!!!
E: Molly! That ISN'T what I said. I told you that when I was INNN my 30’s Daddy and I would maybe TALK ABOUT IT!
Molly: (hands in smart aleck questioning position) WELL. WHAT. ARE. YOU. WAITIN’. FOR???… GET. TO. TALKIN’. You aren’t gettin’ any YOUNGER!!
E: Deer In HEADLIGHTS… (wondering if this is what an out of body experience is really like and thinking to self - Hello??? Is this conversation really happening??? Did my 9 YEAR OLD just SAY THAT I'm NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGERRRRRRRR???? This is yet anotherrrr situation of "new territory in parenting" - HOW THE HECK DO I HANDLE THIS ONE????)
And with that final thought, I look at her with the love of ANYYYY aging mother of wisdom and say, "Molly, why don't you go and talk to your FATHER about this! I'm sure he'll be able to talk about it with you!!" Hee hee... HA HA HAAAAAA!!!!
What happened to the days when people didn’t discuss MY UTERUS???
Lately I feel like thats all anyone wants to talk about?
I'm catchin' it from all sides -- even from. my 9. Year. Old. KID.!!!!!!!!!
Good. Grief. People.
Can SOMEONE PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE send this kid a baby doll??!!!

You can have Brie for a day and then we'll see how much Molly wants to share a room with a baby. Maybe it will get her off your back for a little while anyway :)
