"Remember when I was in your belly, and then you pooped me?"
asks my daughter. :rofl: According to Sophie, that's how she was born, but her brothers emerged from my bellybutton. She also tells me that when I was a little girl and she was a grown up:rofl: she yelled at me because I was running in the street and a car nearly hit me. The way their minds work, it's no wonder little kids have nightmares.

1. She didn't see that Britney Birthin' statue, did she?
But that "when I was little" thing is funny because my mother told my grandmother basically the same thing. It's a big family legend. :) And my sister always thought she was going to get big and then my mom would be the little girl. Kids. :)

6. my thought too. Sometimes little kids remember.
even if I don't believe in reincarnation, I have heard kids say things about past lives that makes sense.

7. I love it.
:rofl:

When my daughter was about 4 or so, she asked me, quite out of the blue:

"Mommy, did we come true in your dream?"

I assured her she did. :loveya:

Out of the mouths of babes....

8. Interesting that so young
she perceives herself as pooped and her brothers bellybuttoned...
Somehow, I don't find it funny...

10. I think you may be reading a bit much into her thoughts.
She was confused about vaginal births and c-sections. She knows that several little boys we know came out their mommies' bellies, but that the two baby girls she knows who were born recently, did not. She thought boys and girls came out different places, as a result of her own frame of reference. There's no need to consider her misconception some deeply-rooted misogynist projection.

11. When our twin girls were about six
One of them announced to me that she knew where babies came from. I asked her to tell me and she said "Okay, but first I have to tell you that you have to be married and it's really gross."

They're 8 now -- hoping they still think that!

12. LOL. We routinely gross our kids out by saying things like
"do you want to go up to the office and make out?" Gets them every time.

13. I got that as well
Not quite as graphic, it was "remember when I came out of your butt...?" :D

Fwiw, I was convinced until I was about...well, let's just say way too old...that babies were born fully clothed. :think:

15. My daughter's nickname was "Bear" when she was little
Don't ask me why - you know how things just kind of stick.

Anyway, she was very verbal and precocious and when she was around 3, she explained to me, in all seriousness, that she was actually an alien. She'd landed on Earth and lived with bears for a while (hence the nickname) then she got curious about humans and so she climbed into my belly and was born so she could live as one and see how it was.

I had no reason to doubt her - anyone who could come up with such a plausible story must be an alien. :silly:

19. I remember when I was a kid
I thought I would eventually stop groing and revert back to a baby, then start the cycle again. I think I was 3 when my dad set the record straight, probably looking a bit confused at what the fuck I was telling him. :) :rofl:
