Laughing...

I love kids, they are so dang funny! I am babysitting two little boys tonight. They are full of questions!

I must (all of the sudden) look really old to kids because they have all started asking me whether I have babies or not and when will I ever get married? I have heard those two questions five times this week!

D, the 7 year old and C the 4 year old were playing Legos a bit ago, here's what happened....

"Bethany," said D, "Do you have babies yet?"

"No, not yet." I said.

"Well are you married?" (I wonder why that question doesn't come first.)

"I'm working on it, sweetie. Don't worry, you didn't miss anything."

"Why aren't you married yet?"

"Remember, George lives in Africa. He needs a special piece of paper called a visa to come to America. It takes a long time to get a visa. Once he does, he will come and we'll get married."

"Oh....So if George is from Africa, what color is his skin?"

"Brown."

"I have brown skin friends." {wheels turnin', wheels turnin'...} "Wait, so if he's black and from Africa and you're American and white, what are your kids?"

"They'll be brown."

"That can't be. The only people with white skin who have brown kids adopted them. There is a girl in my class who has a brown sister and she's adopted." [he's an adorable smarty pants, btw]

"They'll be light brown. Like when you mix chocolate syrup into white milk-it's light brown."

"Oh, okay. What about their hair?"

Before I could answer, C piped up, "I have a brown girl in MY class! She must grink a LOTS of milk!"

...then I died laughing.

These kids are full of it, but by far the reasoning that drinking milk makes you brown skinned is the funniest thing I've heard in a while!
