fecundity of life and love
I heard ry telling his dad yesterday that he used to be a star in space, before he was a baby.
This is because one night many many weeks ago, when we were laying in bed, he asked if I sucked my thumb. I told him no and then he asked if I sucked my thumb when I was a baby. I said I didn’t remember. here is the rest of our conversation.
him: where was I when you were a baby?
me: you weren’t born yet!
him: was I in your belly?
me: no, not yet.
him: was I in nana’s belly?
me, laughing: no no. you weren’t in anyone’s belly.
him: where was I?
me: hmm. well, before you were born, before you were in my belly, you used to be a star.
him: a star?
me: yep. you were a bright shiny star in space.
him: you weren’t with me? was I by myself?
me: well you weren’t alone, you were with all the other stars, playing and having star fun.
him: oh.
awwwww. he remembered! he tells people he was a star before he was born. awwwww! I’m turning my kid into a giant weirdo. I love it!
hmm. weirdos are fun.
Cool…
I remember asking a nun in 2nd grade if my mother will throw up my sister that she was pregnant with because she had the flu…
Gina, you may want to rethink that statement.
That’s a super cool concept, I love it.
