I think my son Ben may have been watching too many wildlife shows.
You would think the fact might have dawned on me when Ben chose to dress as David Attenborough for the fancy dress school disco. Every other boy was dressed in some sort of superhero outfit, while my son wore beige dress pants, a blue button-up shirt, and had his hair slicked over in a side-part. Nice.
I finally twigged that Ben's brain has been overtaken by documentaries when the following exchange took place:
Laura: Mum, have you ever had stitches?
Me: No, I don't think so
Ben: Yes you have, Mum. Remember? - you had stitches after giving birth to live young.
If that's not a statement to make a gal feel glamorous I don't know what is.

That made me belly laugh!
Yes I laughed out loud too. Even though it made me remember my own stitches from birthing live youngs of my own.
Oh, can hardly sstop laughing - I still remember my stitches after giving birth to three live young, and the youngest of the young is now a full grown adult (is that the right term, Ben?) of 42!
And someday some lucky girl will marry him!
After giving birth to live young.
Heh, I have been there & certainly done that ~thrice.
It was all worth it, Ben!!
oh, how funny! My Nicky said something very similar to me once along the lines of me not being an egg-laying mammal like an echidna!
This morning he came jogging with me and i stepped him through his birth moment. (he is doing sex education at school and he asked)
He didn't even say ew.
Too funny. Still laughing and it really hurts!!! Having just has a charming abcess drained and packed and repacked!! yuk
Out of the mouths of babes...what a laugh. He's a bright boy, your Ben.
Yes, I would not have fared well in the wild... I too had many a stitch from birthing live young.
Subtle costume... did he wear a nametag?
Oh, now that's good!
He sounds incredibly smart... how cool!!!
Very sweet. I'm sure D Attenborough would be very flattered.
Still giggling! Looks like I have something to look forward to....eek.
giggle giggle.... got to love children!
I've never laughed so hard in all my life. Thanks for the chuckle...or maybe I should be thanking Ben :)
Ouch, I hurt from laughing - thanks Ben!
