Sometimes you just need to take a shower. And sometimes the best way to accomplish such a selfish feat is to throw your kids in front of a movie. And sometimes you think a movie is a lot less "mature" than it really is and let your kids watch it and realize they have lots of theories on how babies are made.
Yes people, I let the boys watch the fine 1989 film Look Who's Talking. I figured a talking baby was good for laughs for them and a few minutes of peace for me. Right? So I put the movie on, head the 10 feet to my bathroom and I hear from Colin: Mommy, look tadpoles are talking!! Huh? Ooooh. "Tadpoles." Riiight. Eek. I watch for a few minutes, it still seems relatively harmless. Or so I convince myself. I'm good like that.
I let them watch some more. At one point Colin turns to me informs me this movie is about how babies get made! Oh really. And I quote: "Yeah. It starts in a thing and then some magic happens and then it comes out of the mommy after she gets big."
Well, mystery solved! At what age do we need to share the real explantation??

Hopefully the State of NH can hold off on taking the kids away until I get back to right the ship! ;)
