Something I should have been prepared for but was not...

Mason: Mom, where do babies come from?
Me: Uh, well, a mommy's tummy.
Mason: But how do they get out of your tummy?
Me: Uh, well, ....mpf....blmn....mmazczmmm....Magic.
Mason: Hmm.  But how do they REALLY get out of your tummy?
Me: Uh, well, a mom goes to the hospital and the doctor takes it out.
Mason: But how do they take it out?
Me: ....................................................
Mason: Are you having a hard time using your brain?
Me: Yes, I am.
Mason: Okay, you can just get back to me when you can think again.
Me: Alright, I'll get back to you.

I think I really handled it well.  :)

When I came downstairs from putting Grey down for a nap:

Mason: "Mom did you know that there was a ghost down here?"
Me: "Really? A ghost?"
Mason: "Yeah! There was a ghost in your pantry and he just gobbled up some stuff! And did you know that he just gobbled up some chocolate chips?  AND he gobbled up some marshmallows!"
Me: "Chocolate chips and marshmallows? Wow, that ghost went for the good stuff!"
Mason: "Yeah! Can you believe he just gobbled two of my favorite things?"
Me: "Crazy! I can't believe it!"
Mason: "Mom, the truth is that I was the one who gobbled them.  I tricked you!  I knew you wouldn't let me so I gobbled as much as I could really fast! Hahahahaha.  I'm so funny."
Me: " It was you?! Wow, I'm so surprised!"
