"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.
