Sometimes Joe's 4yo vocabulary surprises me, like when we were talking about the hazards of mountain-climbing and he said, "Is a crevasse like a crevice?" Sometimes, though, he gets a little mixed up. A few nights ago we were talking about the Visitation and he wanted to know why St. Elizabeth couldn't get pregnant. (He has the very basic idea that egg + sperm --> baby.) I answered some of his questions but he didn't quite understand. "But Mom," he asked me, "how do the sperm get in the man's spectacles?"
I don't think I want to know an answer to that question as stated.
A friend sent me this hilarious link today, on the subject of kids and babies. I have been laughing to myself about it all day long.
