Daily Diary: Why I Don’t Have a Daughter (my answer to my 5 year old)…

**I put this on Facebook last night and got a lot of funny responses, so wanted to share on my blog today!**

While we were having dinner last night, the boys starting laughing at something Ben said and he started to cry. He wasn’t amused by their laughter… it broke my heart.

I looked at William, Alex and Henry and said, “Do you understand that your brothers are your BEST FRIENDS in the whole entire world and will always be there for you, throughout your whole life!?”

They all just stared at me, so I called in the big guns… I put my husband on the spot and hoped he would answer the way I wanted him to…

I said, “Daddy… what’s the ONE thing in the world you always wanted, but never had?”

He answered (thank goodness!), “A brother.”

So I looked at them all and said, “See how lucky you are!? All Daddy ever wanted was a brother, a built in best guy friend… and you all have 3 each! You are SO lucky!”

They all nodded their heads.

But then it was Ben who looked up at me and said, “Mom, why don’t we have any sisters?”

(I wanted to break the ice… and really didn’t want to get into the whole EXACT reason why…)

My response, “Because you’re supposed to create a boy band with your 3 brothers someday.”

His replied, “Really!?”

YUP.
