Err…ahh…hmm…
One of the things you’ll find becoming more challenging about parenting a preschooler, is finding the right words with which to frame an answer to their zillion and one out-of-the-blue questions. For each post I make about something cute my daughters say, there are probably ten things they’ve uttered or asked that I’ve found too embarassing to blog about.
Clearly, this isn’t one of those times. Maybe it ought to be, but funny once again trumps proper in this case. Plus I need help finding the words to explain this one.
Yesterday, Raeven asked me why I needed to wear ‘little diapers’.
“Little diapers?” I asked, a little distracted watching “Who Killed the Electric Car?”.
“Yes, your little diapers. The ones you put underneath your vagina?”
“Err…ahh…hmm,” was my exact answer.
I am trying to recall if I ever saw my mother naked/going to the toilet as many times as my kids have seen me. I’m sure it’s considerably less since she was a working mom (one more reason to NOT be a SAHM!) but if this keeps up, I am seriously running out of answers.

Hahhaha, this reminds me of the time when I was 9 years old, and I asked the cook why did she “wrap and throw away her underwear” whenever she emerged from the bath.
She only said, “You’ll know when you’re older” and that left me even more puzzled!
Anyway, good luck to you, hhhehe

hahhahaha.. My boys asked me about that.. my reply was: I will tell you when you are 7 years old.
They accept that as a good answer and I havent been questioned since LOL
Would that work with Raeven?
