At one point, Emily made it clear to me that she believed that her dad and I had purchased her in the hospital. (Worth every penny!) I started to explain where babies come from, and told her that she grew in my body until she was big and strong enough to come out. She then asked me how she got into my body. For some reason I had not seen the red flashing lights before I started the conversation that I would have to explain this in some way. Another "gift" that Emily has is that she is VERY logical. This is a pro and a con. At this given point, I could not explain it in some fantasy that involves fairies, cabbage patches, or storks. I've always wanted her to know things. I just wasn't sure I wanted her to know THIS quite yet.
Unsure as a mother can be, I proceeded very slowly on the matter with no plan. My own voice started to get muffled in my head, being drowned out by the voice yelling: "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO REALLY TELL HER?!" And bless her heart, she stopped me with, "You gotta hear this. What do you get with a door in a belly?" Somewhat relived, I asked, "What?" "A door-belly!" she exclaimed. Now although this was especially funny because she stated she made it up, I was sure to laugh EXTRA hard and loud so she would forget about our conversation.
The Birds and Bees can wait.

I have always enjoyed the fact that Emily has a very good vocabulary and she is able to speak well. Her Grandma was able to enjoy this fact in the middle of a department store.
Emily was shopping with her Gammy (read: Grandmother) at Dillard's. At one point, Emily needed to use the restroom. As we all know, in department stores, there is usually a restroom in the ladies lingerie department. After using the facilities, Emily became aware of what section of the store they were exiting. She had an announcement to make. She pointed to a particularly lacy bra and exclaimed just loudly enough to make nearby customers pause and turn, "When I get big and I get boobs, I'm going to get one of those!"
