During Mass yesterday, at the end of the Our Father, My Little One asked me to pick her up "so I can sleep, Mama". I broke hands with My Husband, scooped her 44 pound body up into my arms then reconnected with the prayer chain by hand -- awkwardly.
My Little One starts rubbing her cheek and nose against my left breast, then rubs my right one with her hand. The she gives that right one a good squeeze or two and looks up at me with a sleepy smile and says, "Mama, is this where the milk came from when you fed me as a little baby?" Then she giggled.
Sticking with the prayer, I nod with a humored smile, affirming that yes, that's the milk-a-plenty source.
She squirmed loose at the end of the prayer, so I gently helped her to her feet.
I feel her tiny hand patting my tummy, then looks up at me with that same curious smile, "Mama, where did I come from? Your butt or your vagina?"
Yes, I laugh. Not out loud, but I do laugh.
I kneel on the kneeler and slide my hand around her, pulling her very close to me so I can tell her in her ear, "my vagina".
"EEEWwwww! That's just disTURBing!" she whisper-giggles. "Did they give you a bath after that?!" she mutters between snickers.
I'm smiling and trying not to laugh, again, nodding my head 'yes'.
"Okay. GOOD!" she replied then knelt down too.

How was that for some random church chat? *laughing*
I am not really Wonder Woman, but I try to be. Nor am I Mrs. Simon LeBon, but at one time, I was going to be. Nonetheless, I am a wondering (wandering?) woman whose been handed quite a life. I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. I might not like it always, but I trust the process....
