Some things just don't come in the parenting manual. N is excited about this whole baby thing. She has always loved children younger than herself. (Including, on occasion, her own brother!) She especially loves babies and toddlers. She has discovered "A Baby Story" on TLC. I watched the first part of one episode with her--because the mom was in labor. Though she knows the doctor was "looking at her bottom!" (both kids giggled at that) the camera didn't show the gory details so I let her continue to watch. (She does not yet need TOO much information).
She oohed and aahed at the infant they brought home.
The next episode however, featured a same-sex couple--two women--who had just brought their baby home. N tells me that two girls had a baby and they didn't have any boys. I stated quietly that a man was involved at some point but she shook her head with conviction. "Nope. They have been together for 8 years. NO boys!"
OK.

That's too funny. You know they are making modern medical miracles all the time...maybe she had just seen one :)
I once, very sincerely, asked my mother if a man and a man got married, could they only have boy babies. Made sense to me.
Joey,
She's hoping! She loves babies but boys--not so much.
SV,
You were a logical child!
