Anatomy of a Mom

The boys are always talking about the day they were born...or the day when one of them was brought to the hospital to see the other one. Granted they have no memory of this other than the stories I tell them. One particular story seems to make them giggle and I'm not sure why....

My mom brought Grayson (then 2) to see me after I had Jake. I had some Graham Crackers on my table and I gave them to Grayson. Jake always tells the story that Gray ate his crackers. Well they were actually mine, but still it's cute to hear them talk about it. Now keep in mind Jake is 11 when you read this next part...

I'm in the kitchen while the boys are getting breakfast and getting ready for school.....this is what I overhear.

Gray: "Mom dropped you and that's why you're crazy"

Jake: "No mom fell when she was pregnant w/Kate and that's why Kate is crazy" (for the record I tripped on a step and never fell down the stairs)

Jake: "Besides you started the crazy person thing when mom gave birth to you first"

Gray: "well I ate your crackers"

Jake: "haha yeah you did"

Gray: "Maybe those were Kate's cookies...and it wasn't when we came to see you...but Kate. I think MeeMee had you"

Jake: "WHAT? I CAME FROM MEEMEE? I THOUGHT MOM HAD ME"

Gray: "No...MeeMee HAD you in her arms when I remember eating the crackers" (again for the record....he wouldn't remember he was 2)
"You came from Mom's ...you know...area"

Jake: "That's still gross...why couldn't I just have just 'been' there. Where everyone walks into a room and boom there I was because I have no idea how I can come out where she pees!"

AWWW the joys of being a boy! haha
