When putting Connor to bed tonight, he asked: "How many monies does it cost for a kid?"
Daddy: "Where did we get a kid from?"
C: "At the store"
D: "Do you think we should have a baby for this family?"
C: "ya, cuz I want to have everyone come over and she can play with our baby toys."
D: "if we have a baby, you have to be very careful with it, cuz the baby can't talk, or sit up, or anything"
C: "ya, I know -- I'm very good with baby Piper [Ferch], ask Mommy 'bout that..."
(p.s. we *are* expecting a baby -- Jamie is about 20 weeks along, but we haven't told the kids yet. We figure it would be too hard for them to understand timing of "9 months away". We have the ultrasound to determine gender next week, so we'll be telling them after that. They're probably wondering why Mommy's tummy is poking out there a little these days...)
