Motherhood Monday: Week One

While tweeting last week about the shenanigans that is my life, two of my favorite people inspired me to use it for a new blog meme. 

Which is where we are now.   Being a mom to three of the funniest little people, I am privy to some hilarious conversations.  Not to be stingy I plan on using them in a weekly post about the random things I explain to my kids.

Life Lesson:

I was sitting in the living room while my son (the oldest one) was watching tv.  An infomercial came for a new fancy bra claiming to perform magic.  The snort I gave only perked his interest.

And I found myself explaining the reasoning behind girls needing to wear a sports bra. 

And how they worked. 

Oy.

I said things like, "bind them like an Ace bandage."  And "push in while shoving up." 
The best part came when discussing the disadvantages of not only being short, but also endowed.  I complained about how, "you need bigger cups to prevent the jiggling and bouncing, but they assume you're tall-ish and give you long non-adjustable straps.  So you're pushed in, but not held up.  It kinda defeats the purpose."

He took it all in stride and responded with, "well.. that just sucks."

Have you found yourself giving any absurd explanations lately?

This is hilarious! I find myself explaining way too many things from tv. I mean seriously. Some things just shouldn't be aired... ever.

haha! I always thought if I had kids I would have wanted boys. Never thought about having to explain girly stuff to them though. I can imagine it's a little awkward talking to your son about your boobs.

Our lab is in heat for the first time.

"Mommy, why is there blood on the floor?"

"Is Carly hurt?"

Yeah, that was a fun conversation.
