a long lost brother?

A few days ago, I took a nap with Curious George. When he woke up, he sat up on the bed and started talking to me.

CG: A long time ago, I had a baby brother.

Me: Huh?

CG: I had a baby brother and he was this small (gesturing with his hands) and I love him.

Me: Matty, you don't have a brother.

CG: I do, a long time ago! And he was small and then he died. (sad face) And he turned into...um.. what do you call it again?

Me: An angel?

CG: Oh yeah! My little brother died and became angel and I never saw him again. Ever.

Me: Matty, you don't have a brother. You only have sisters.

CG: I do! He's turns into an angel with my grandfathers and now he's watching over you!


I don't know about you, but now I'm scared.

"I want a baby brother."

I was making small talk with Matty after we got home from school yesterday.

Me: Matty, do your friends have baby brothers and sisters?

no answer

Me: Do you have brothers and sisters?

Matty: No.

Me: You don't?

Matty: I want a baby brother, Mommy.

Me: What? Why? Don't you like your sisters?

Matty: My sisters are getting old. I want a baby brother.


We realy don't know where he comes up with these things. Really. It's not like the hubby and I go around the house discussing having another baby. I'm a year behind on my sleep, so I have a long way to go before my brain could even function well enough to discuss another baby.
