Explain it to us... then we can tell you the points you where you were "unclear." That way, you can explain it to him again.

Ben: See added conversation.

This is a perfect example of what I'm going to love about being an aunt (my brother just had his first kid): telling my nephew all sorts of stuff his parents find cringe-worthy or otherwise inappropriate. Also, buying him beer when he's underage.

(Oh, I'm KIDDING about the beer.)

Jes, you truly ARE an aunt. :) Remember though, what goes around, comes around! Hmmm...not unlike regurgitation...

Looks pretty clear to me...

I just think his mom put an end to the conversation a little to soon is all... just tell him another time when mom isn't around... he will get it... maybe demonstration for him. lol.

This last weekend, my brother-in-law was teaching my kids to jump up and down on Grandma Karen and Grandpa Gerry's couch... as he was pounding his chest like a gorilla making weird monkey/gorilla sounds.

Sydney said, "I know you weren't just teaching my kids how to jump up and down on the couch acting like a gorilla WERE YOU?!?!"

I will say that from a dad's perspective... it was freakin' hilarious. And the demonstration was perfect. So really, all you need is a demonstration added and there's no way he won't get it.

ahahaha

I am such a loser because I am not a "real lifer" and I am only inside the box... What does "inside the box" mean? Can I be outside the box... that's sounds like I am smarter or something.

ha ha!

Those birds reminded me that I have seen 2 baby birds dead recently and 3 full grown birds dead in the Plano area. Now is this normal? I can't help but think of Bird Flu - especially because of the closeness of the incidents and the odd locations of the deaths. Perhaps the birds were murdered though? Do murders happen in the Animal Kingdom? I think this will have to be a blog post for me. Murder in the AK - by Eddie Renz - yep, look for this one coming to a blog site near you.

Just blame it all on the tick you recently found in your head.

You can totally babysit for me. Any time!

only you Jes... only you

I think you did a good job explaining it. Little kids usually think this sort of things is fascinating, and what better place than nature to feed a child's wonder and imagination. In China (and lots of other places) moms without glass-jarred "baby food" chew food up for their kids and spit it in their mouths - not unlike the birds. A lot of grown-ups who didn't grow up with mom spitting into their mouth are - ignorantly - like "eeeewwww!"

That's a neat story despite however gross it sounds. ;)

of course they needed to know about that. it is nature and they DO throw up into their "babies'" mouths.
