I have been trying to avoid discussing crucifixion and torture with Sophia this week. Mission accomplished. Phew. However, she blindsided us today with another Easter related topic at the lunch table. Did not see this one coming.
Sophia: "Why do I have eggs inside me?"
I let Mark handle it and snuck off for a nap. He can tell you the details.
Mark's Post: At lunch today
S: Why do only girls have eggs inside of them?
Me: Uh, because you had eggs for breakfast this week?
S: No! Not those kinds of eggs! Girls have eggs inside their bodies, and boys don't have eggs...
Laura: I'll let you handle this one. (exits room)
Me: Uh, who told you that?
S: Mommy told me.
Me: Well, because some day when you are ready to have a baby...
S: Oh, and the baby comes from the eggs?
Me: Yes!
S: When the womens have babies, the babies come from that. That's what eggs are for!
Me: Yes...
(Of all the kinds of eggs I'd expect to talk about with a four-year-old at Easter...)
