Sam (4) and I went to Bed Bath and Beyond today. This is the conversation I found myself in.

Sam: Why did you want to have babies?

Me: No Answer... (why did I want to have babies? I honestly cant think of a good reason at the moment!)

Sam: Why did you have two babies?

Me: Well, don't you think its nice to have a brother? I thought it would be nice if you had a brother or a sister

Sam: What's that thing daddy has again?

Me:  What do you mean?

Sam: What's that thing daddy has to make babies?

Me: You mean sperm? (I now lower my voice because I'm sure other shoppers ears will be perking up if I don't)

Sam: Yah sperm, that's it.. how did he give it to you?

Me: Um well, daddy and mommy do a special kind of hug

Sam: A hug?

Me: Yes only mommies and daddys can do this hug

Sam: Oh

Silence

Am I out of the woods now I am thinking to myself.

Sam: Mom, how did I get out of you?

Me: With the doctors help Sam

Pause. Please let this conversation end. He just turned four, come on! He is four!

Me: Sam why are you asking so many questions about being a baby

Sam: I am trying to remember what it was like to be a baby

Me: (yay- lets change the direction of the conversation) I can show you some pictures of yourself when you are a baby if you want Sam

Sam: You have some? You know where they are?

Me: Yes, they are on the computer

Sam: How did they get on the computer?

Me: I connected the camera to the computer and the photos went on the computer

Sam: Oh

Silence

Sam: the camera gave the computer a special hug?

Me: Well sort of (At this point I am floored and have to turn my head because I may just fall over laughing.)

Happily we have reached the kitchen gadget section and Sam is now very curious about wooden spoons, garlic presses, and potato brushes.

The kid is too much. Bed Bath and Beyond is right.
