Fetus Wars

I never in a million years thought that I would hear myself say...."Layla you have to share that fetus with your sister!"  or "It's Ella's turn to play with the fetus...she will be done with it soon and then the fetus will be all yours."

That has been my morning.

Yesterday we went to the Boone County 4H fair and in the community building there was a group handing out anti-abortion material complete with your very own fetus.

Here it is in all its tiny creepiness

The little thing kind of creeped me out, but Layla fell in love with it...of course. It was her very own teeny tiny....Fetus. The guy called it a fetus when he handed it to us and so from that point on we all had a good laugh about Layla's brand new fetus.  Then this morning happened.

Layla woke up and the first thing she said was, "Mommy I need my fetus."
I was so tired my first thought was...Hold on what?? You want your what?? Then I remembered...

Unfortunately Ella had already claimed our little Fetus for the morning.

Layla was to say it mildy...not happy.  So what did Ella do when Layla lunged for that Fetus screaming in all her crazy glory....Ella shoved that baby fetus in right her mouth and started crawling away as fast as she could.

Layla was completely beside herself

Ella soon lost interest in our little fetus and all became right in the world again

As you can see from Layla's blotchy red face this was quite the dramatic event this morning.  Who knew a little fetus could cause so much trouble at 8 in the morning?
As for my part....I laughed my butt off through the whole thing and each time I had to tell the girls to share the fetus just made my morning.  These ridiculous moments are why I LOVE being a mom.
