Where the magic happened...some of you may recognize this place...
Yesterday, I had to pull over the car from a) laughing so hard and b) to write this down. Because I never, ever want to forget this conversation.
The kids and I were driving around yesterday, rockin out to some Blondie and Elvis, interesting combo, I know...but it works. I feel an obligatory responsibility to expose them to the greats like that. Anyways, I love just driving with the kids because they ask me questions and we talk. Mind you, I try very hard to answer honestly. Most of the questions these four-year olds are asking me, I don't really know the answer to because I never really retain information like why the waves are there. "I don't know hunny, something to do with the moon and a force or pull....here, have another animal cracker..." And sometimes, they ask tough questions that catch me off guard. Tough being that I know the answer, but just am not sure I should explain what an "Army" or "War" is to my kids quite yet.
"Well, hunny, an army is a group of people who protect our country from bad people." No, that's not it...shit.
But yesterday, yesterday caught me off guard pretty good. We're driving down the road, rocking out to some Elvis and it went something like this:
Lucy: "Mom, how did we get in your belly?"
The truth: Mommy and Daddy rocked out a pretty good hour or so of lovemaking also known as wild crazy sex. Then Mommy elevated her hips just so that the egg and the sperm could meet, and have a chance to get acquainted. Mommy remembers that night, it was a GOOOOOOD NIGHT. Also, I just drove by the place where all the magic happened. I had to explain to my passenger in the car why I was hanging out the window to take pictures. It was awkward, and yet, necessary.
What I really said, "Uh......God put you there."
Lucy then taking the information and running with it, explaining to Max: "Yeah, Max. God put His hands on mommy's tummy and said, 'Poof' and put us in her belly."
Max took some time to dissect all this information and then, "No. No. What God did was he THREW us in there! "WHAM!" A slight pause...more thought and then, "Lucy, I know He did. I felt it!"
Oh good gravy. So, thank you God, for being somewhat of an outlet to me not having to go into detail as to how the kids got in my belly. I do believe God blessed me with these kids. Even moreso, kids with amazing wit. Surely, they're not getting it from ME.
That's how I roll.
No doubt in my mind at all - God blessed you with these kids for sure.
In a way.....He really did throw them in there.
