More Precocious Than I Was?

I assume many three year old girls pretend their baby-dolls are their own babies, by imitating their mothers. Lately mine has been witness to my friend Juste nursing her four month old. This morning we saw her pretending to...feed...her doll...in a similar fashion.

Normal?!

Don't worry, I can't remember it happening, while only very vaguely anyway, but in kindergarten at about the age of four I went into labour and gave birth to a doll. I made all the boys run around and get me a bowl of water and blankets for the baby, apparently my kindergarten teacher heard screaming and didn't know what was going on, and then ran to find me... giving birth.

special lady says "that unbelievable. your mother must have been thrilled to have such a daughter!"

and yet if a 3 year old boy was playing at trying to impregnate a woman, that would be seen as inappropriate. What a world.

that's because impregnation is the devil's business. fornication is quite a sin. i mean, assuming the three year old is not married. if he were, i don't think it would be inappropriate at all. that be neat if three year olds could get pregnant, and if they did consequtively say 30 times, and your mother was three years older than you, and your grama three years older than that, and your great grama three years older than that, et cetera, you'd have quite a family tree going! Yuck.

Mum still talks about it, only problem is even 25 years later she can barely get the words out 'cos she laughs so hard!

oh and trashcan, at four years of age I knew that babies came out of tummies, I just did not know how babies got into tummies... I think if I had been trying to emulate the latter it would have been a problem
