I Wonder

I wonder if I should have kept the kids away from the ranch while the alpacas were making babies...

I wonder if we should have lied and told Ella they were wrestling...

I wonder if we should not have explained some of the science behind it...

I wonder...

Because tonight, while playing with her model horses, I noticed she had one on top of the other...

Because as they were stacked, one on the other, she was making a noise that sounded much like the male alpacas when they breed...

Because when I asked her what she was doing her reply was, "he's trying to get her egg out. Come on egg! Come out!!" Then continued with her noise.

I wonder if she'll try to teach other kids about the alpacas...

I wonder...

Funny . . . they learn one way or another. Better from nature than at school from the other kids talk.

I don't think I've ever commented, but I couldn't resist. This entry had my husband and I rolling with tears in our eyes. Thank you SO very much for this.

Oh ya, she'll teach them....and it will be funny. I remember when my brother told my nephew all about "it" and he used elk as examples.
