The Bats and the Bees!

We always tell Aaron how much we prayed to have him and that he was a gift from God to us. Keep that in mind as you read the following conversation that occured as we were driving down the road the other day.

Aaron: Mommy! When I grow up I want to be a bat!

Me: Well, son, that is quite a lofty goal!

Aaron: Mommy, do bats pray?

Me: No, sweetie...I don't think bats pray. People are the only ones of God's creatures that pray.

Aaron: Well, then how do bats get their babies?!

Me: (laughing) Well...when a mommy bat and a daddy bat love each other, they have babies...

Aaron: But HOW do they get them? How, Mommy?

Me: (frantically dialing the cell phone) Umm...ummm...Let's ask your father! Hey! Is that a bird over there?

Jackie, you only think it is cute because it is not your 4 year old asking about the reproductive habits of bats! Your time is coming, girl!
