The kids are watching "Reading Rainbow" right now. Izzy just piped up, "Hey, mom, that's what they're going to do to you when you go the hospital to have the baby. They're going to take you from there to the desert, then they're going to put you in a cage, then they're going to wrap you up...."
I interrupted, "Then I'm not going to go to the hospital!" I turned around to what the heck he was watching and there was the guy from Star Trek - the one who wore the silver banana clip on his eyes - telling us all about Egyptian mummies.
I explained to Izzy that he was talking about mUmmies, not mOmmies, and I told him the difference, as best I could.
I'm not sure I got through to him however, because then he asked, "Are they going to do that to you?" I told him no, but this is rural West Virginia and to tell you the truth, I'm not real sure how they go about birthin' babies in these parts.
