Our Love Child
Sierra : "Mommy, What's a 'Love Child'?"
(The hair on the back of my neck stands up and My vocal chords seize for just a moment)
Me : "Well, Where did you here this? and what do you think it is?"
(I am trying not to pass out from the lack of oxygen going to my brain)
Sierra : "It's a baby that is born before two people who are in love get married"
(Okay, I can feel my fingers again)
Me : "Well, you're right"
(Glad this conversation is over..or is it?)
Sierra: "So, I am your and Jemal's "Love Child!"!!!"
(SHUT DOWN! OVERLOAD!!)
This whole event was very traumatic for me. Sierra and I had to have a long talk after this little bit of dialog and we talked about her dad and Jemal. She knows that Jemal has been around as long as her real dad has been and I don't think that she sees much of a difference in the two of them other then Jemal spends more time with her then her "real" dad does.
Anyway, I thought I would share this cute little story with the rest of you. Now that it is over it sounds very sweet, and adorable.
