Out of the mouths of babes.

I was sitting here thinking about when my youngest which is now 10, was about 4 years old. He was has always been a real cut up, and over the years we've come to expect pretty much anything to come out of his mouth. He's not rude or anything but, if he thinks it, it going to get said. I had recently had a hysterectomy, and we explained what mommy was going to the hospital for, by tell him that I was having my baby cradle taken out. Well my husband makes a little remark like, "but we're keeping the playpen." Well this particular time, we were all sitting around the dinner table. All of my in laws, my mother, and father was over for some get together. I can't remember what the occasion was. But we all sitting there having a nice conversation, and it lead to cradles. If I recall correctly, we were talking about giving our old one to a relative. When out of no where, my son looks up from his plate and says, "mommy doesn't have a cradle". My farther in law says, "yes she does son, I saw it in the back room." To which my son replies, "no she doesn't. The doctor took it out. But daddy says he left her playpen." Now while he was saying this I wanted to climb under the table, I was so embarrassed. Because it dawned on me what he was referring too. So parents to be or parents that have small children, be careful what you say around you little ones. You never know when you just might hear it again.
