Yes, Your Grandmother is Still A Girl

Yesterday in the car, the children were discussing marriage when the conversation took a very odd turn.

Nicholas: You can't marry that person, they are a girl.

Rachel: Maybe they were a boy first and turned in to a girl.

Nicholas: What are you talking about?

Rachel: I saw it on Oprah (note to self check Oprah schedule before turning it on in front of the kids).  There was a boy who got some surgery and then he was a girl and he married another boy.  Mommy how do they do that?

Me: (Stammering) I don't know.

Nicholas: GG got surgery.

Rachel:  Did GG get turned it to a boy with her surgery?

Me: No!  They only replaced her hip.  They left everything else the same.  Hey kids, how about a little sing along with the Muppets CD?

Cue "It's Not Easy Being Green."

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! You are lucky you didn't have more dancing to do with these super smart kiddies. It never ceases to amaze me how they can take all those different puzzle pieces and make a TOTALLY NEW picture....love you all sky big!

That is wonderful. And what did your poor mother (or MIL) say when you related the story? Did she laugh? (Deeply, like a man?)

My mom thought that the whole thing was extremely funny.
