Tonight at dinner, the kids and I got on a really weird topic of conversation. I'm not sure how, but at one point Sarah wondered what if Andy was a cow and we had to milk him. I mentioned that we would have to do it because it is uncomfortable for cows not to be milked and it makes them feel much better afterwards because of the pressure build-up of the milk in their udders.
I told the kids it was kind of like when babies nurse, the mom can feel the pressure of the milk building up and it feels better when the baby eats because it takes away the milk and decreases the pressure. Very matter of fact, almost scientific.
The next thing out of Andy's mouth is a question about Mick Jagger.
Me: Does talking about cows make you think of Mick Jagger? He's got the mooooves like Jagger? (There is a song where the chorus is "He's got the moves like Jagger, he's got the moves like Jagger, he's got the mooooooooves like Jagger". I don't know the name of the song, but the kids love it and it is catchy).
Andy: It does in my version. You know how kids like to make up their own version of songs?
He went on to explain that his "kid-version" of the song is "He's got the boobs like Jagger", so when I started talking about breast-feeding he thought about boobs which made him think about Mick Jagger which led to his question.
I think it was if Mick Jagger had a wife. Maybe he was thinking about her boobs. Nine-year-olds sure are interesting.
