Attached Forever

Savannah asked me if there is something that hangs off of belly buttons when a baby is born.  I proceeded to explain the umbilical cord.  She took it all in and then asked why it has to be cut when the baby is born.  I explained that if the doctor didn't cut her umbilical cord, she would be attached to me via a hose (yes, I realize that this isn't medically accurate but she is seven!).  My next statement collided with hers in a surprising way.  I said, "I don't think that would be a lot of fun for you." at the same time she said, "Awesome!"  Yes, she was giddy about the thought of always being attached to me.  Savannah explained that she would never miss me, would be able to get my loves whenever she wanted, and would love having me attend school with her.

Oh, I love this girl!
