You should really get that looked at.

Tonight we read Tadpoles for one of the boys bedtime stories. In the beginning of the book, the little girl finds some frog eggs, and her mother is describing how they start out as dots, and then grow into frogs. Then the mom tells the little girl that she was a dot once too, just like the frogs. This is where I did a little ad libbing:

Me [reading the book]:
"Was I a dot?" I asked.
"Yes, when you were inside me. Then you grew legs and arms 'and a tail' and turned into a baby, and got born."
Ella [after a slight pause]: Nooooooooo!
Levi and Noah: We don't have tails!
Me [checking all three of their buns]: Do you have a tail back here?
Ella: No!
Levi: No!
Noah: No!
Me: Did Aunt Erin have a tail?
All three of them: Noooooo!
Me: Did Aunt Lindsey have a tail?
Levi: Yes!

We laughed. The legend on Lindsey's tail lives on!
