At dinner the other night, Evan looked wistfully out the back door, sighed and uttered the following statement, "I wish I was a girl. I wish I was a girl."
Me: Why do you wish you were a girl?
Evan: I want to make more people. I want to have a baby.
Me: Evan, my boy, it traditionally takes two people - a mom and a dad - to make babies.
Evan: No, it doesn't.
Me: Trust me, it does.
Evan: No. It. Doesn't.
Rather than argue the facts of life at the dinner table, I let it go and Evan went back to eating his dinner.
My son's longing to have a child put me in mind of the following scene from Monty Python's film, The Life of Brian.
About Me
- Misc
- Shampoo-Banana, IL, United States
- I'm a crazy proud mother of an 8-year-old Star Wars obsessed black belt boy and 6-year-old clothing and make-up designer girl. When I'm not teaching high school English or volunteering at my kids' school, I manage our household. If I'm not driving children to and from karate lessons and play dates, I can usually be found logging miles on the gym treadmill, elliptical or stairway to nowhere. Or sitting under a tree reading a book or magazine.
Love This

That's too funny. You know you're raising either a philosopher or a stand-up comic right? You could have an entire blog devoted to his little gems.
Funny! I had a similar discussion with my four year old this morning...they should get together. Love the Monty Python clip!
