The scene: Trapped in the car, with nowhere to go. Of course.
Garrett: Was I at your wedding when you married Daddy?
Me: No, you weren't there.
Garrett: Then where was I?
Me: You just weren't there.
Garrett: Was I at Nana's?
Me: No.
Garrett: Was I at my little school?
Me: *sigh* No. There was no Garrett when I married Daddy.
Garrett: But then where was I????
Me: God was just waiting to give you to me and Daddy.
Garrett: How did God give me to you?
Me: You grew in my tummy, after Daddy and I were married.
Garrett: But how did I get into your tummy? And how did I get out?
Me: Well, um, eh, uh, because God can just do very special things. *turns radio up as loud as possible*
I don't think I like Four. I would like to go back to the Spitting Up-Crying All Day-Eating All Night phase, please.

Haha!! I have had this same discussion with KJ, and similarly, I tell him that he was still in heaven waiting to be born. I don't know that I really believe that, but telling him he was a twinkle in his fathers eye is so not cool.
You always bring a smile to my heart.
You totally pulled it off! I think I might tell my future children that I caught them in the ocean or something bought them at the grocery store.
*This might be the reason why God is holding off on me having a child of my own to torment. :)
Ha Ha! I told my kiddos they were gifts from god and then I hide my wedding picture! Ahhh to do things bassakwards.E
Oh, how hilarious...the things kids come up with. I can't wait to torment my future kids with bazaar answers to their questions...heehee!
That's only the beginning. Good luck is all I can say.
In my experience, if it can't be explained without going into too much detail the answer is always God or Santa Clause, lol.
For what's it's worth, I love 4. That is, I love G being 4 b/c it's funny to read about.
I will be calling you and Mol in a couple of years asking for advice though when Silly Girl starts asking questions like these b/c seriously, how in the hell are you supposed to explain those things to them at such a young age?
Wait a minute - you have to figure out ways to tell kids about this stuff!? Gah - you'd better figure it out before Zoe asks, 'cause then I can just copy whatever you say ;)
