Conversations with my kids

“Ewe, why do old people try to reproduce?”
(Middle child…after watching a news story on Larry King where they showed him and his wife kissing. She notices Mrs. King is much younger looking than Mr. King. I said…I think he’s like almost 80 and his wife is in her 40’s or something and I thought they had a kid that was around 8. )

My son asked me to go swimming in our pool.
“No, I don’t want to”
“why not?”
“I just don’t want to”
“why not?”
“I just don’t want to”
“oh, come on…why not? ”
(this goes on a few more times til I say…“I can’t right now”)
“why not”
*UGHHHHHHHH* “It’s a woman thing, um, okay?…..”
“Oh my God, couldn’t you have just said, ‘no…I don’t want to?”
*blink.*
Then he adds……….
“yesterday…when Kaylee (his sister) was driving us to Target….she was all moan-y and says, ‘Oh my God it feels like my ovaries are gonna fall out right now’……and then he says…”I’m thinking….Oh God, do I really need to know this?”
POOR kid. lol

My son, who is only 11, is numb to his sisters discussions of tampons and cramps.
