Brothers

Ellery wants a brother.  I mean, she loves her sister but she might trade her in on certain occasions.  

She is also suddenly fascinated with the concept of godparents.  So, taking her lead, I explained that Mac was her god brother. Is there even such a thing?

She bought it hook, line and sinker.  Then she asked why they didn't live with us.  

So, I explained that they have a different Mommy and Daddy.  

That was the end of the conversation....or so I thought....

I heard her telling a friend this weekend that she has brothers....

but they don't live with us because they have a different Mommy and Daddy.

Do you think she is telling her teachers about her brothers?  Because chances are she is and chances are they think we have a very complex family structure....
