We've had a lot going on this spring and summer around our house. We had a couple of ducklings - Jellybean and Flowerpower that way too quickly have become full blown DUCKS. We've discussed the possibility of eggs and how we don't want MORE ducklings and Maria is HORRIFIED that we could think of eating their eggs....that we should let them all become ducklings. Did you know ducks can have 120 eggs per year? Think we're settled in for the long haul now (now that they stay out of the pool!).
We've also been heavy into the reading this summer and enjoyed a great book about chicks hatching....we've learned a lot about eggs!
Advance that to this morning and the brief 1 mile ride to summer camp this morning. There's a black lab running loose in the neighborhood and I comment that he's not supposed to be loose like that. Daniel turns to Maria and says "They probably didn't want babies." I was interested with that comment about the full grown dog and asked Daniel what he meant. He said that "he was probably getting ready to lay some babies and the people didn't want the babies so they had to turn him loose". He then went on to explain to Maria that "dogs don't lay eggs like ducks. They lay babies - a lot of babies." How is a mom not supposed to laugh?!?! Guess we'd better keep reading!
