I had barely put my foot in the door tonight when the kids bombarded me with news about blood and babies and cutting the stomach open.... all very jumbled and hard to understand.
Turns out that they had witnessed their first cesarean section today... luckily it was on a cow and not a human being. They were suitably impressed. Riley especially with the vet for first sticking his whole arm up the cow's bum to feel where the calf was before doing the cesarean. Then she wanted to know if it's the same for humans, do the doctors also have to stick their arms up your bum to feel where the baby is before cutting the baby out the mommy's tummy? (Rourke was born by cesarean so they know that babies can be cut out of the mommy's tummy. We haven't yet covered natural birth yet.)
Cliff was not so impressed with it, said it was rather gross. I thought it might have made them want to become a vet but Riley wants to be a teacher and Rourke wants to be a racing car driver....
Needless to say life on the farm is teaching the kids quite a bit. Makes me wonder what they are going to be telling me about tomorrow.
