Isaac on birth

[mamajoan]

Isaac: Mama, did you know that I'm your first baby?
Me: I did know that. I saw you come out of my vagina.
Isaac: yeah! It was really hard!
Me: Yes, it was really hard to push you out. I pushed and pushed and pushed, and then you popped out! And everyone said "Ohhh, look, it's a baby boy! I wonder what his name is!" and I said, "I know what his name is, it's Baby Isaac!" and everyone said "Oh, baby Isaac, that's a nice name!"
Isaac: Yeah! Now talk about when baby Bastian came out.
Me: Well, I wasn't there when baby Bastian was actually born, but Aunt sandykidd pushed and pushed and pushed really hard, and finally they said, "this baby is too big, it can't come out through her vagina," so they had to cut her belly open with a knife and take out baby Bastian that way. And everyone said, "wow, look how BIG he is!"
Isaac: yeah!
Me: And they all said, "look, it's a really BIG baby boy! I wonder what his name is!" and Aunt sandykidd and Uncle metafrantic said "We know what his name is, it's baby Bastian!"
Isaac: And everyone said "Oh, baby Bastian, well that's a nice name!"
Me: That's right!
Isaac: And when you came out of my pajamas, everyone said...
Me: [laughing]
Isaac: ...
Me: Go on, what did they say?
Isaac: They said, "oh, look, it's a mama girl! I wonder what her name is!" and I said, "I know what her name is, it's Joan!"
Me: You're exactly right, that's exactly what happened.

apparently we're going to need some clarification on genital nomenclature...LOL!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving (or Happy Thursday) to all!

Isaac is so funny sometimes.

I'm working on something particularly boring and soul-destroying today, so this snippet of life through the eyes of a child was even more appreciated than usual.

Happy Tofurky day to you!

Pajamas, LOL!

I honestly wondered what Isaac meant about you coming out of pajamas! I didn't realize that vagina=pajamas!

I didn't either, until I read the genital nomenclature sentence.

I expect Isaac will need some clarification of cause and effect, or the order of events, too.

This is a great story.

You say vagina, and I say pajama, Vagina, Pajama, Pajama, Vagina, let's call the whole thing off!

That may well top all the Isaac stories ever.

Eldest nephew Xander has been quite interested in the differences between girls and boys since he finally realized that his second sibling (Spenser) is not quite the same has his first (Nicholas).

He has, at various times, asked his mother, his two grandmothers, and his sundry aunts if they had "a gi-na" (long I sound) and were girls, and if Spenser-baby (as she often gets called) has one, too. Usually at highly public occasions.

So the other day, when he asked his 92-year old great-grandmother if she was a girl, everyone thought they knew were the conversation was going.

Gramma-Gramma: Yep, I'm a girl.
Xander: Is Grandma Phyllis a girl?
Gramma-Gramma: She's a girl, too.
Xander: Am I a boy?
Gramma-Gramma: You're a boy.
Xander: Is Papa John a boy?
Gramma-Gramma: Papa John's a boy.
Xander: No, he's a man!

Nothing like being got by an almost 4-year old!
