Well, wonders never cease!


To beat the heat I took the kids out to the local sprinkler park. We met up with some friends and I was enjoying some adult conversation. When suddenly I see some naked kid prancing through the water. Instantly I laugh and feel sorry for the parent. Then I realized that it was my daughter!! Emma had taken off her bathing suit and was using the sprinkler park as her personal shower. Quickly I lugged her over to our things and tried to pry a wet bathing suit back on her, while asking...

Me: "Why did you take your bathing suit off?"
E: "It dirty."
Me: "There's only a little grass on it. You'll be fine! You have to keep your bathing suit on."
E: "Why?"
Me: "Because we don't walk around outside naked."
E: "Why?"
Me: "Because our bodies are special and we don't show them to other people."
E: "Why?"
Me: with a deep breath of disgust..."because I said so".

I hate saying that. But at least it helped put an end to the ANNOYING line of questioning. What am I going to do with her?
