The Young and the Restless

Tears

I know it's mean to laugh when your kid is crying, but sometimes I can't help it. Like today when Jayden came to me and said,
"Mom, I really wish I could see inside your body."
(me)"how would you do that?"
"Maybe you could eat me, except my eyeballs so then I can still see in your body."
(me) "don't you think that would hurt?"
"You can put me back together when I'm all done."
After many attempts to convince him that it wouldn't work, he just couldn't understand why I would refuse his offer and burst into tears saying, "just eat me mom!"

I was on a roll and made Kylie cry later that day also. She was asking if it was going to hurt when the baby came out. I told her that I wouldn't feel anything because they would give me medicine. She kept asking me about the medicine so I finally told her about the epidural. They say that you should answer honestly when they ask, but maybe I should have left out the fact that the needle they stick in your back is like a foot long. She immediately burst into an unconsolable sob and kept saying "I'm never ever going to have a baby!" I finally got her to calm down when I told her that she could adopt a baby instead (she then began into the questions of how the baby gets in your tummy, but I figured I had done enough damage for one day so we ended the conversation there). I really hope I haven't scarred her for life.
