While in the store today the girls began to get a bit restless. I was purchasing a spaghetti squash... I cradled the squash gently and explained to Taurin I needed her to hold my baby. She gently held the squash giving a little "shhh shhh" here and there. The awesome part was she was completely still fully engrossed in caring for the baby squash.
Marinn was feeling a bit left out of the mommy circle and asked for a baby of her own... the only thing I had left that was close to a baby was a jar of Ragu... I picked it up and cradled it gently and passed it off to Marinn. The remaining time in the store was spent sitting quietly taking care of their babies.
On the way home in the car, Marinn now holding the baby squash, says, "Mom the baby squash is sad because she misses her mommy and daddy." I explain we can adopt the squash and she can be a part of our family. Marinn responds, "Yes, and we can eat her." This answer surprised me considering her love for the squash but I thought it was hilarious at the same time....
the logic: part of a family= you get eaten?!
