This week we visited an area that I never thought I'd visit.
At least ... Not until my children were 21.

Or 47 or something.
So my nine-year-old daughter has a new TV obsession:
TLC's "A Baby Story"
This actually comes as no surprise because I watched it ALL the time when I was pregnant with her.

And I'm really okay with it - it's educational, after all.
But the other day, something dawned on me:
"I wonder if she actually comprehends what's going on here?"
So, I started the typical "mommy cross-examination routine"
The conversation went something like this:
Me: So, E - do you know what's going on here?
Miss E: Yep. That woman is in the first stage of labor. She's only dilated to a two, though.
Me: Do you know what that means?
Miss E: Yeah, the little hole in her cervix is getting bigger to let the baby through.
Me: !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Um... you know what the cervix is?
Miss E: (with a "duh" sound to her voice) Uh, yeah.

Miss E: Yes, mom. It comes out her vagina.
Me: you know about the . . . wait, did you just call me "mom"??
Miss E: Yes, mom. It comes out her vagina.

Miss E: (Gives me "the look")
Me: Well . . . do you know how the baby GOT there?
Miss E: DUH, Mama - GOD put the baby there. Sheesh.
Me: (breathing a slight sigh of relief that she still doesn't know about THAT part yet ...) Oh, yeah... Right. God put it there.
