Dear, Sweet Innocence

Hanging clothes outside today resulted in some ladybugs making their way inside the house along with the dried clothes. The following conversation resulted:

Erin: Are all ladybugs girls? (a fair question, I thought)

Me: No. If they were all girls, how would there ever be any more ladybugs?

Erin: Huh?

Me: It's just like people. You need a mommy and a daddy to make a baby.

Erin: So you mean God takes a rib from the mommy and a rib from the daddy and makes a baby?

Me: (giggling...) Well, not exactly. (...and quickly changing the subject.)
