And speaking of Aunt Amy

I started telling the kids about their "creation" a couple days ago. One of them started talking about who has babies and how that happens after Parker said he wanted to have triplets and the girls reminded him he couldn't have any kids on his own. They all discussed the various ways to get triplets and quads and how babies are made. Elizabeth was pretty clear on it saying the man's seed goes into the ladies vagina to the egg. So I casually mentioned that some ladies don't have good eggs so they use other ladies' eggs. I continued on that this was what happened to me so Aunt Amy gave me some eggs. So I said instead of sort of looking like me, they really sort of look like Aunt Amy. But that since me and Aunt Amy look so much alike, most people don't even know and we all look related.

Their response? "It is funny about you looking like Aunt Amy. You could be twins!"


Obviously they didn't get the full gist, but my hope is that one day when they are much older and someone asks them when they found out they were from Aunt Amy's eggs they would say, "We've always known."
