I watched my niece (by friendship) last weekend. She told me a girl at school was making fun of her for not wearing a bra. I explained to her that it wasn't polite for this girl to make fun of her, and that it wasn't any one's business. Then we talked about her wearing a bra, since she is 11 years old and starting to develop. The conversation went a little something like this...

ME: Well, honey, you are 11 years old now. Maybe we should buy you a bra.

HER: I don't have to wear a bra, I'm not giving birth.

ME: Who told you that? Your mom? (I could see my friend telling her that!)

HER: No, I came up with that all on my own.

LMAO!

I told her that I wasn't giving birth, but I still had to wear a bra. We ended up at Walmart, she ended up with a cute little pink bra that she absolutely loved!

I just had to share that story. I never laughed so hard in my life.

Tomorrow my niece will be 17 years old. My other niece (by marriage) is having a baby girl. She's due next month. My nephew will be 12 next week.

As for me, I will have another dried up egg...

GAH!

Where has the time gone?

Beautiful woman, dried up egg? Naa, you will release the egg that you didn't use this time. It's okay, you are a young vibrant woman who has plenty of time to get her egg fertilized. Believe that.

And I have this really close relationship with the fertility goddess of old, okay it's more of an obsession, so relax little mama.

love you, mean it,
mama

You don't have to have a biological child to do some mothering, as you did for the 11 year old girl.

Rain is right. I never birthed a child. I have mothered many of my nieces and nephews. I know I made a difference in their lives.

Look, you bought your little niece her first bra. That is very motherly.

You are my little niece too.

That was all over the place... It is 4:43 am. I'm going to bed now. Hugs!

I'm pretty sure we ALL have tons of eggs. So don't sweat it.

Loved the story. Kids are funny.
