the facts of life...

Miss O said to me today, "Mom, I know how to tell boy dogs and girl dogs apart."


Me (thinking we were about to delve into some profound discussion about the birds and bees and variations on body parts) ..."OH really, how?"


Olivia "Well it's by how they go to the bathroom, of course!" (OF COURSE!)
"Girl dogs have to sit down and boy dogs..."
(at which point she raises her left leg off of the ground in a perfect imitation of a boy dog going pee) "...DO THIS!" (she scrunched up her face and then said...) "That seems like a REALLY hard way to go pee!"


Yes, take it from me--sitting is much easier!

And on the subject of aging ...Eliza said over the weekend how much she loved the old T.V. show 'The Brady Bunch'. Adding as a post edit to me, "You know Mom? That show you used to watch when you were a kid growing up in the 1800's?"

Why yes, of course! Me and Laura Ingalls Wilder did share a few wagon rides on the prairie.

I'm old, but not THAT OLD! (yet)
