the beginning

I just put Violet into bed.
Vi: "Mom, where did everything come from?"
Me: "That is an excellent question and I don't know."
Vi: "Well, who made everything?"
Me: "I don't know. I don't know how it all got here or how it happened."
Vi: "Well, who pained the universe?"
Me: "It's not painted. It's real. It's real stars and real planets."
Vi: "Wow! I didn't know that!"
Me: "the Earth is blue because water is blue, not because it is paint. It is real water."
Vi: "How do you make water?"
Me: "2 Hydrogens and an Oxygen"
Vi: What is hydrogen
Me: A gas
Vi: We have to drink gas?
Me: No, when you put those gases together, it turns into a liquid.
Vi: Do you have to blow on it?
Me: No, you don't have to blow on it, but I'm not really sure how it happens.
Vi: Mom, I have another amazing question (LOL!) Where do you make clouds?
Me: It is some steam up in the sky that collects up there.
Vi: If you have a tree, it came from a seed. What comes before the seed?
Me: Another excellent question. I don't know what came before the seed.
Vi: And, how do you make electricity?
Me: I don't know. Good night!

On Christmas Morning: age 5

"Mom, do my boobs get a little bigger and a little bigger everyday?"

Placentas

After watching a birth on youtube, Violet said:

"Someday, I want to feel a placenta without gloves."
