I am not sure what has brought on the slew of questions this week but they have come rampantly from both girls. I am thinking they are a little two young to question these things and often my response has been "Where on earth did you hear THAT?"
I mean, look at that picture over on the right...don't they seem awfully YOUNG?
I am saving a list to tackle sometime soon, after doing some research on the internet. Because you can get ANYTHING off the internet...even simple answers for the young ones. And perhaps after some consulting with some other moms and perhaps a child psychologist. Just to be sure I say the right things in response to a 5 and 7 year old.

Me: "Six thing?"
Anna: "Noooo, I mean SEX."

Anna: "Mommy, I know exactly what I want for Christmas, I want to tell you so you will get it for me!"
Me: "What? A new Barbie hair dresser kit?"
Anna: "Nope. I want diamonds. Lots of them."

After singing this to Claire at bedtime, from the Bible (there is actually a tune I learned as a kid):
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
Claire: "What's HELL?"
