Rosie Rose Petal, our beloved kitten, is about 5 months now which meant one thing - time to get her spayed.
It wasn't hard to tell this was necessary. She started marking spots in the house and getting a little crazy - so we made an appointment to bring her in. The problem was explaining this to Matthew. Not only was I not quite ready to explain why cats get spayed, I was also a little hesitant to tell Matt that the cat would be in the hospital overnight.
So, in order to avoid a difficult conversation I told him that Rosie was going to have a sleepover with all of her cat friends. I thought I was pretty smart until he asked to go and see the other cats who would be at the sleepover. Luckily the staff played a long and were very helpful.
We didn't think it through too too well because the question when we went to pick her up was why had they cut her stomach open and then taped it closed.
When he has sleepovers with Kyla they just have popcorn and movies (what, no surgery?)
Just wait till I try to explain to him how this baby got in my tummy ... should be interesting!

Just tell him the stork placed him there and it will come out of your belly button when it's time...lol. That's what I always thought, anyway!
Yeah...those sleepovers with surgeries...oh, how I miss junior high. Hee hee hee....
Yes, I agree with the stork idea. Stave off all blame.
Ha! That's hilarious! ;) Great post!
You could have fooled him, except for the giant scar!
My kids weren't that curious about how the baby got in or out of my tummy... maybe you'll have the same luck with Matthew!
