Like A Surgeon

Emma and Abbie were having a discussion following her Kindergarten teacher's recent surgery that kept her out of the classroom the end of December. Emma wanted to know why she wasn't attending.

"Well, you know, she was probably sore after the surgery, so that is why she wasn't in your class." Abbie said.

"How do you know?" Emma interrogated like a cynical teen.

"I had surgery when you and your sister were born. So I know how sore you are after having an operation." Abbie reminded the vigorous 6 year old mind.

Emma thought in her casual, silent way she always does before she added to the conversation.

"And Daddy had that surgery on his leg so you and him can't have any more babies?" she added with a nod of complete understanding.
