The Facts of Life . . . .

Alex was with me Monday with a case of "dont-want-to-go-to-school-itis" (sinus stuff) and I was making an appointment for Smokey and Stripes to be neutered. Here is our conversation:
Alex: "Why are we taking Smokey to the vet?"
(I really want to say "so he will quit humping the furniture" but think that is not appropriate)
Me: "So he can't have babies" (now that's a smart answer, right?)

(He gets very quiet for a minute)
Alex:"So. . . . . boys can have babies? "
Me: (Pause) "Well, they can help girls have babies."
Alex: "How's that?"
Me: (bigger pause) "Well, when the boy parts get with the girl parts, that's when babies are made"
Alex: "Oh, OK."
Me: (big sigh of relief) So what do you want for lunch?

What a Wild Weekend!

We went to the Wilderness of the Smokies hotel and indoor waterpark this weekend. I forgot the camera but did make these videos of Phillip and Alex "surfing" on my phone. They are not that great to view but you get the idea.
