Cole (6yrs) and I went to the library today and read books together. On our way home, he spotted my sling backpack on the front passenger seat. Here was the conversation.
Cole: Maren, whats that?
Me: It's my school bag for my school books.
Cole: Can I see one of your school books?
Me: Sure. [thinking to myself that the only one interesting to him would be my MCAT Biology review book.] Here you go.
*It's silent for a while as he flips through the pages. As we turn down his street I say-*
Me: Cole, what was your favorite part?
Cole: The picture of the animal with the thing-ies. (He puts his hand's next to his temples and wiggles his fingers.)
Me: [thinking to myself- Animal? I don't remember animals in that book. Uh what section was that in. Crap I hope I don't have to remember any animal facts for the test. Annoying]
*We pull up to the house*
Me: Ok Cole. Show me the picture.
As you can guess from the picture shown already...... the "animal" was the drawing of the female reproductive system.
Me: Yeah Cole. That is a cool animal. OK let's go inside. Here let me have my book to put away.
Classic. I laughed so hard and when I told his mom who is an MD she laughed just as much.
I love being a nanny. And I love that he thought it was an animal, cause as all of us ladies know, it can be one sometimes.

Way to go for just going along with the animal thing.
