"Mummy can you marry a girl" says Jana, 6. "Because I dont want to have babies cut from my tummy!"

This is a recurring theme with my little girl. She has a fear of having babies - not that she doesnt like babies.

"Well Im going to marry my Mum" says Alexander

"you cant do that" says his friend. "she's too old!!!"... :(

"There's a spikey in my room!!!"

Andres screams out in the middle of the night. "Daddy, Daddy there's a spikey in my room". We still dont know what a spikey is. A spider, a bug????? No to all of these explanations.

"Mummy's Dont Jog!!!" says 3 yr old Andres

Upon seeing a 'mummy' jogging along the footpath, Andres made this exclamation. "They stay at home with us, only Daddy's jog!".

"Im not getting married", 5 year old Jana proclaims

"why not?" I ask. "Because Im going to fall in love, once Ashley grows up a bit more, but we arent going to get married". "What about having babies?" I asked. "Oh no, Ashleigh hates babies" Jana assures me.

"mummy can I marry a girl?"

Says Jana, 5 year old. "Because I dont want to get married and have babies with a boy".

"Mummy Jana's suckin the mouth"

....says Andres when Jana is sucking her thumb quietly in the back seat. Its good to have a little spy in the camp :)
