And where are you from?




I know this question seems pretty clear to many of us. However, to my 4 year olds it doesn't seem that simple. They seem to have mastered the art of questioning. They are full of questions......I mean tons of questions! When I got home yesterday it was a typical evening for us, shower first, dinner after and story time then bed time. Sometimes it doesn't go in this order necessarily but we manage to keep up with the routine. Well, after shower yesterday, we were having a rather interesting conversation. The boys wanted to know where Daddy & I were from. I told them mommy is from Africa, they went OH? then I said daddy is from America and another OH? I stopped to look at them as they seemed preoccupied with this new information and ready to ask more questions. I then said so, where are you boys from? Kailen answered in a very assertive tone, we are from the Hospital! and I couldn't stop laughing!! There it is...the moments that make parenting a true joy. I told them from now on you will always be from the Hospital, it's your country!
