Kids say the darn-dest things

Kids sure say the darn-dest things don't they?
Gabe and I had quite the interesting conversation yesterday. I had gone downstairs to read him a book before quiet time and as I snuggled up on the bed next to him he says,
"Mom....we have four boys in our family don't we."

"Yep," I said, and testing to see whether or not he considered me a girl, "and how many girls do we have?"

"One...........but we will be having another one soon."

Me.....feeling a little uncomfortable at this point, "Oh yeah, how do you figure?"

"Well, you are going to grow her and then you will go to the hopsipal (yes....it is a typo but this is how he said it).

I don't know Who has been talking to my kids but they sure have been interested in having a baby sister. Do they not understand that we just had a baby. Do they not get it? Huh? Huh?

On a similar note, a friend of mine told me this story today. But first a little background on her. She is the mother of 5 year old twins, has a baby who has JUST turned one and is 19 weeks pregnant.

Yesterday she was driving in the car with her kids, had turned off the radio for some R and R, and found herself praying about her worries and fears (having little money, so many kids, etc) and was just finished telling the Lord that she thought they might be done after #4 was born and then.......one of her 5 year olds piped up with this:

"Mommy, the Holy Ghost just whispered to me and told me that there is another baby in heaven waiting and we are suppose to have five kids in our family."

Wow.....isn't that crazy. At least I don't have that kind of pressure.

Who am I kidding? I, at LEAST, have two more to go. If that's not pressure I don't know what is.
