Kids have got to be the funniest creatures on the planet! If it weren't for my goofy little kids, I would be the grumpiest person on earth. But how can I possibly have a frown with them around?
Will and I told them about the baby last night and they all had very different reactions than I expected. Kassie's first words were, "Dad, we need to get a baby swing." Probably indicating that she wasn't going to share her new swing that we hung from the deck a few days ago. Mason and Christopher started spouting out names. Christopher wants to name "him" Chris Jr. and Mason suggested we name "him" Mom Jr. I can see it now! These are my sons: Christopher, Mason and Mom Jr.
I kept pushing the subject on Kassie throughout dinner, because I didn't feel she was adequately excited and I got nothing! Then, on the ride home, in one last desperate attempt to get her revved up, I said, "Kassie. Did you know that mom has a baby in her tummy?" To this she repeated with a scrunched up nose, "You have a baby in your tummy?" My reply, "Yep." Then she looked at me as if she had new understanding and said, "Oh." and put her head phones on and continued watching her "mermaid movie" like there was nothing else going on in the world. She'll come around...righhhhttt?
On the other hand, Mason's overexcited. He was spouting off all kinds of pregnancy scenario's on the way home, which makes me wonder what he's really learning in Public School! He told me about a woman that was trying to get away from a flood so she climbed a tree and had her baby up there! Hahaha! What a weirdo! Mason that is...and also the tree woman was kind of a weird story too.
Christopher is excited too! He experienced a natural sugar rush that made us all fear for our lives. Then he started a stroll down memory lane, reminding us how him and Mason said they were going to marry Kassie. Then I remembered Mason explaining to Tammy (one of my mother in laws) that he had to marry Kassie, cuz his mom was already married to his dad.
Funny, Funny kids!
