A couple recent Rylan musings

While at Idlewild last week, there were crowds of people wearing swim suits and shorts. Rylan seemed to really notice this.

Rylan: Mommy, why do girls not have breasts but adult girls do?

Me: Well, when girls get older, and start to become adults, they'll soon be able to have babies. When their bodies grow so they can grow babies, their breasts grow so they can feed them.

Rylan: Ooooh, ok.

About an hour later while waiting in line for a ride, a very large busted woman exits.

Rylan (pointing) : WOW! That lady must have LOTS of babies!

Let preface the next musing with a little background:
We're open with the kids about homosexuality. They know some men marry women, and some marry men, and vice versa. We've told them its their decision who they want to love.

Today while grocery shopping, they began talking about my wedding pictures we were looking at earlier in the day.

Brayden: Mommy wore a really pretty white dress when she got married.

Rylan: Yeah, it was beautiful

Brayden: Rylan- do you remember when Ryan married Robbie? She wore a pretty dress too.

Rylan: Yeah, she wore a pretty dress, too.

Brayden: Well Rylan, you can wear something pretty when you get married, too.... well, I don't mean a pretty dress, you can wear a suit, and your girlfriend can wear a pretty dress. Unless you want to marry a boy. Rylan, what if you want to marry a boy?

Rylan: I will punch him in the mouth and find a girl.

I feel bad for laughing, but it was SO funny the way he bluntly stated it.
