Me and younger brother 'Little Brett Lee' as he likes to be called, were sitting outside eating lunch. The conversation turns to his cousins, and I explain how his cousins Dad's are our Mummy's siblings. I go even further and explain that our Grandparents are their parents. He loves this and starts thinking....
LBL (Little Brett Lee) "Mary, when you get married, will Mummy & Daddy come down with you?"
Me "Uh yeah..." *thinks.. what does 'come down' mean?
LBL "I will only have my Mummy come down with me, I love her the most. not Daddy just Mummy.
Me "Umm ok! do you mean 'come down to see your wedding when you are married?'
LBL "No, I mean, come down with me to the priest..."
Me 'Ohhhhh! I know. you mean walk down the aisle with you!'
LBL "Yeah!!" *he smiles happily*
Me "Did you know Mummy is the oldest child like I am"
LBL 'Wow! she was young when she got married though!" *smiles again*
Me "Yeah I guess! I am only 22. Maybe I should get married soon??"
LBL 'You were a baby in Mummy's tummy one day.."
Me "Yes I was, she was really fat beacuse me and Cl. were both babies at the same time!"
LBL "How are babies born?"
Me "They are just born!"
LBL "Oh, I guess they just come out of peoples poo-bottoms... " (eeek.. sorry guys this is what he said! :P)
Me 'Ummm.. yeah they do" *thinking: great where does he get his ideas from?*
LBL "You came out of Mummy that way - ha ha ha ha ha!"
Me "So did you!!!.......... oh hang on, no I think you were cut out of her stomach, thats yucky hey"
LBL *keeps on laughing* "No, thats ok, but you came out of her bottom.. hahahaah"
Me "Hmm everyone does I can't help it!!!"
LBL *Is thoughtful for a minute* "Awww.. even fat mummies have babies some days!"
Me 'Yeah!" *thinks of the time he asked a lady when she was having her little 3 month olds twin - cause he thought she was so fat she forgot that there was another baby in there!!!*
LBL 'Even babies have babies!"
Me "Yeah! not until they are grown up and married though! *smug smile.. that should stop him*
LBL "One day you can have kids!" *starts laughing and laughing*
Me *silence*
LBL "They can be little Indian kids Mary" *smiles again*
Me "That would be nice! one day I'll marry a nice Indian and we can have Indian kids.. what do you think? is that ok?"
LBL "Maybe you can stay home with Mummy and me forever!" *looks sad*
Me "Then I can't get married and have kids! Mummy had to leave her home to do that"
LBL "Ok. I'll get married too. And I'll have Indian kids too!" *ahhh problem solved!*
LBL "But where will they come from?" *looks confused, then looks to the sky*
LBL "I'll wait for them to come from the sky!" *smiles again and says he is going now*
Me "Ok!" *phew!!!*
Motto of the story - Don't talk about kids with kids! :P

A kid's thought is 40% logic and 60% fantasy! They are very nice as babies, but as they get older, around 2 years they become really cranky and then they grow! It would be so much fun if they remained as babies :-)
@ Arjun.
Hahaha.. Actually I seem to prefer kids the other way around. Once they get to 3 or 4 years old they are really fun to talk to! (like this!) My little brother in in this conversation is 6.... he's always been great fun though.. from a baby through till now :)
Kids. You got to love them.
Yeah...kids can be cranky and cute at the same time. :) Sometimes it's so darn difficult dealing with them..my 2 year old sis always 'remixes' the nursery rhyme "johnny Johnny" with another lullaby in Hindi...and is proud of her 'composition'. :D Sheesh.
Hmm ...
The last line summed up the whole things smartly.
