This just in...
The boys were tucked into bed this evening when I overheard Boo telling Max about his day:
"I tried to tell Lexie that she had a baby in her vagina, but she wouldn't let me."
There are many times when I make a conscious decision to let something slide as a parent, but this was not such a moment. I walked to Boo's bedside.
"Boo, would you tell me again what you said to Lexie today?"
Oh, how I hoped Boo had been trying to convince Lexie that there were lots of babies in North Carolina. First time ever I've actually wished for hearing loss.
"I told her she had a baby in her vagina, but she wouldn't let me."
"Well, honey, Lexie doesn't have a baby inside her. She's too young. Only grown-ups have babies."
"Oh, yes she does! But she didn't want to hear it."
"So what did she do?"
"She put her hand over my mouth."
"Hmmm. Well, it sounds to me like you got off easy this time."
Next time it may be a fist. And let's not even think about what Lexie's dad might do.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. :-) Have you heard from Lexie's Mom?
