Alien Invasion

My new theory on Sharkbait's disappearance is he was abducted by aliens and then RETURNED! After being missing a week (we didn't clean out the tank because our friendly pet snail still resides there) he reappeared. Nate even took the lid off the tank and looked all around the day before his return and couldn't find him anywhere. But, he's back...and really hungry since he didn't get fed for over 7 days!

Sharkbait

He's missing. Sharkbait has disappeared. He is no longer in the aquarium and I didn't see him on on the shelf or floor around the tank (which would be really crazy since there is a lid on the aquarium). Nate and I can't find him. So, either he a) died and quickly disintegrated or b) the snail ate him or c) there was a Beta rapture. What else could have happened to him? Don't tell Max.

Bucking Bronco

Nate's Uncle Roger sent the boys this enormous stuffed horse for Christmas. Of course, they love it and somehow get bucked off every time they ride him. I don't know that either of them will ever make good saddle bronc riders if they can't handle the non-moving, on the floor version. Can anyone build a stable onto our house?

Body Parts

Yesterday I was laying on the couch (it's my favorite thing to do these days) and Max came over and jumped on me. I said, "Ow!" He said, "Oh, did I hit your penis?" I explained that I didn't have a penis. He looked at me and asked, "How do you pee?" I told him that girls have a hole that they pee out of. He said, "A hole? Why do you have a hole?" I told him it's called a vagina. He gave me the funniest look and said, "Mom, are you kidding me? A vagina?" Then he started laughing. He acted as if I had just made up the stupidest word I could think of.
I realize now that girls don't really pee out of that... but what is the "pee hole" called? I wasn't anticipating the girl body part discussion!
On those same lines, I was putting on my bra the other day and Max said, "Oh.... that's for those, not your tummy!"
