I wish I was a girl....

That is what my 10 year old son said and my 5 year old piped up and said "why, so you can have a VAGINA?"

I almost peed my pants.

Why does my 10 year old son want to be a girl you ask. Well it all started when his siter was born 15.5 months before him and she brought him up to like girly things. The only reason he wants to be a girl is so that he can learn to knit and sew like his big sister has learned. He looks up to her, that is his best friend and he wants to be like her. I can't blame him, she is pretty spectacular.

He is going to have the whole package one day. He already is a rugged young man when he is out mowing lawns with his dad or working along side his grandpa. He will know how to do it all, yet know how to be sensitive to a woman's needs.

I look forward to watching him grow into a young man that will make me proud as he makes me proud now.

Hard Boiled Egg - Do you know what is inside?

A conversation between a 5 year old and his dad.

Owen was looking in the fridge for something to eat. He sees an egg here is the conversation.

Owen: "What is this dad?"
Dad: "That is a hard boiled egg"
Owen: "What is that?"
Owen: "Oh I remember its the cooked egg with the cheese in the middle"

So there you have it. If you didn't know what was inside a hard boiled egg, you do now.

It is just cheese.
