We have had some extremely adorable summer visitors so far this year. Most recently my college roommate/best friend Liz came with her too-cute-for-words, baby Grace. Before them we had my cousin Lisa come with her fun boys and adorable Ariel. And we were also visited by our super fun cousins, Brenden and Oliver, who are out-shadowed in cuteness by little Baby June. So my boys have seen one cute baby girl after another come and visit us this summer. And George has loved them all dearly.... So yesterday, we were at the pool spending the afternoon swimming. George says to me, "Mom, when we get home, don't forget to have four glasses of milk. Do you know why?" I say, "No I have no idea." He says, he'll tell me later, and goes on swimming. We spend another hour or so swimming and during that time he reminds me again about drinking my milk when I get home. So when we get home, I reminded him, "George weren't you thirsty for a glass of milk?". And he replies, "It's not for me mom, it's for you. Don't you want to have another cute baby girl?" I say, "well, not really, but why?" And then he tells me that his little second cousins told him that if his mom would drink four glasses of milk in a row, I could get a baby in my tummy too!!
Oh, but to understand the world in such a way. I will let his father sort this issue out with him in a few months, or years, if we can let the milk theory work for a while! But do be careful when drinking milk, that you not go past three glasses of milk in a row, unless your little kids too have heard such a rumor!!
Happy summer. And thanks to all our super fun visitors. We've loved having you all!!
