I Don't Know

And I hate it! 

Now is the time for questions I guess.  I only wish that I had an answer other than "I don't know."

Erin & I talk a lot in the car.  It's a great place for us to talk about anything.  Generally I'll ask some open ended questions & get simple answers from her. 

On the way to Hebrew school the other day, Erin asked me if she was born in the morning or at night.  It seems like such a simple question.  Doesn't it?  But I don't know.  I am really starting to hate that sentence.

I was  honest with Erin & gave her the only answer I had.  She answered with "I think I was born at night." I told her that was okay.  Then she said "I changed my mind.  Actually, I was born in the morning."  Okay sweetie.

Too bad I don't know.

I know this is not reliable but maybe it will help you and Erin...you can tell the time of day by whether they are morning people or night people. If a morning person then probably a morning birth...if night person then probably born at night.

So, I was born at 11:48 am...morning person but like to linger (I always say I am an afternoon girl)

My brother, Billy 9:30, totally a morning person.

My brother, Nick..well, he never needs sleep and is just difficult and was late at birth and never caught up.

My mom was born in the early morning and is a morning person...dad just the opposite.

My grandma always told us that, guessing it is some tale she heard from her mom.

Boy can I relate. There is so much we don't know.

I know exactly how you feel. The other day Sera kept asking me why we picked her and not another baby. I tried explaining the matching process, but she's only four, so I also try to keep it age appropriate.
