Be a Fly on My Wall: Episode I

Last Tuesday.  In the dining room.  Dinner time.  Owen putting napkins on the table, with Husband's help.


Owen:  Dad, guess what!

Husband:  What?

Owen:  Chloe's mom is having a baby!

Husband:  Really?

Owen:  Yes!

Husband:  She must be so excited.

Owen:  Yes, she is!  I'm excited, too!

Husband:  I bet.

Owen:  Daddy, how do you make a baby?

Husband:  Ummmm....

Owen (thinking Husband did not hear him):  Daddy, how do you make a baby?

Me (from kitchen):  Mommies and daddies make babies, Owen.

Owen (pausing):  Oh!  I want to watch Chloe's mommy and daddy make a baby.  Daddy, can I go to Chloe's house and watch them make a baby?  Daddy, how do they make a baby?

(Tween snickers in the background.)

Husband:  Well, that's something we'll talk about when you're older.  Owen, would you like to put the forks on the table?

Owen:  Okay!

Fortunately, Owen is easily distracted.
