The Doctor Told Daddy

The car conversations continue... Taylor announced the other day, "I like going to Daddy's better now. We don't have to bring wood in any more because the doctor told daddy he needs to get some exercise. He brings in all the wood now." This led into a conversation around how things are after the separation as in "Daddy doesn't have a wife to do things for him now so he buys pizza instead of making it."

One or Two Children?

Kids ask the darnedest things in the strangest of places. Pulling through the bank drive through today, attempting to extract money for a pricy plumbing job, Kenzie (now 8 years old) decided to ask a question. "Mum, I've wanted to ask you for a while. If you have one child, do you have to do it to have another child?" It took me a while to clue in as my brain is in too many places. "Have sex?" "Yes." Taylor pipes in, "not if you have twins." Kenzie, "ew." Taylor, "I'm only going to have one child if I have a lazy husband like daddy used to be. I'll have two if I have a husband who helps."
