Yes Brooklyn, Jesus closes his eyes.

My daughter cracks me up.

A few months ago her Gamma, Brad’s Mom, told her that when she grows up Jesus will let her get pregnant.  Brooklyn is 5 at this time and she is always asking grown up questions already.

Where do babies come from. What is sex. Will it hurt when I have babies… do they HAVE to cut the babies out? No brooklyn. Then how do they come out mommy? Like When I poop? UGH! lol

So yeah, she came home from that visit with Gamma BAWLING for a week straight cause she didn’t want Jesus to make her pregnant. So I told her the truth. She didn’t have to have kids if SHE didn’t want to. That wasn’t good enough. She still cried, so I prayed with her and we told Jesus together that she didn’t want to get pregnant. That seemed to calm her down and I thought that was the end of it.

A few days later she asks me If having kids hurt. The truth is yes, but you can’t tell a 5 year old that, who is already petrified to get pregnant. So I told her she didn’t have to get pregnant to have kids. She could adopt. That put an end to that.

And then again a coupel of days later so told me she was going to adopt six kids. Cause she loves kids. Shes going to be an AWESOME mommy. (Those were her words)

“Mommy, I am going to adopt a brown baby, a black one, a chinese baby, and one white one.”"Brooklyn”, I said, “that is 4, I thought you said 6?”

“Yes Mommy, those 4 plus any other babies that need a home. I am leaving my options open” LMAO Too cute.

For the last 2 years, yes since she was 3, she’s been telling me that she DON’T want to grow up. She don’t want to be a grown up. She wants to stay little. And oh how I would love that. But trying to explain it to her, and explain to her why every year shes bigger when she don’t want to be is an impossible task.

She don’t want to grow up and get a boyfriend. She don’t want to move out. She don’t want to give up her barbies and Blankie.

His mom tells her the strangest things to tell a kid. “Jesus will take mommy and daddy one day up to heaven” That pissed me off to say the least. I went through months and months of tears and her “yelling” at Jesus to leave me and daddy alone. That is one conversation I will not have with her right now. She busts into tears anytime anyone brings up heaven. Or death.I know she is going to learn in time that mommy and daddy will not always be here. But the last thing I need is, God forbid, something to happen to me or Brad and have her hate and blame jesus for it.

So the only answer that I can give her to that is “no matter where mommy and daddy are, we will always be with you, love you , and watch over you.”

I don’t mind my daughter being taught about God and Jesus, but I don’t need anyone scaring her into believing, or scaring her so she don’t believe.

The funniest thing she has EVER said to me was one night I was putting her in the shower, due to the lack of a bath tub in our house, and she wouldn’t take any of her clothes off. Cause his mom told her that “jesus sees EVERYTHING”.  And she says no guys or boys are allowed to see her undies. LMAO

So we had to tell Jesus, AND Santa, who can also see everything, to close their eyes! LMAO

Sometimes I think she catches on to stuff that is too hard for her to wrap her little mind around. In some ways she knows way to much for a 5 year old. I want to keep her innocent and sweet and not have to worry about death, and Higher powers and Santa seeing her undies.

She is a very private person. From the time she was 2, dad wasn’t allowed to give her a bath, change her diapers pull up or clothes. She’s private. And I am glad. Same with Grandpa and any uncles or her brother.

I’d keep her little forever if  I could. I am sure any parent would. Bless her little heart!
