Supernatural Twins

This is actually the first of 3 posts I'm planning to make today... I know, I don't make any all week and then suddenly I go post-crazy :-p But, I actually have a giveaway to post... and then I have my usual TwinTuesday post... but, I just have to make one additional post, because I am still reeling over something that just happened...

First, I am not a religious person. I consider myself a true agnostic in that, I have no idea what, if anything, lies beyond this world. I don't make any judgments concerning what others choose to believe... but, I personally have adopted a certain humbleness: I know that I will never fully understand all the secrets of the universe. In fact, I doubt I'll ever even begin to scratch the surface, when it comes to my understanding of it.

However, I do hold certain beliefs. I may not believe in karma per se, but I do believe that if I live a good life, good things will happen to me. I also believe that there probably is more at work than I know about... and, every once in awhile, something happens that reinforces that idea, for me.

When Josie was a baby, she would often stare at a blank ceiling or wall... and, despite that, she would get a look on her face like the most entertaining show was being put on for her. At times, she would actually giggle, at absolutely nothing. This went on for a few months, when she was an infant, and then stopped. But, I would get such an odd feeling when she would do it... it was as if, she really was seeing something that I could not.

Well, just now, the girls and I were sitting on my bed, playing with Daddy's Magic Cheezburger (kind of a long story about that, but basically it's a magic 8-ball in the shape of cheeseburger :-p). We were just hanging out after school (today was their last day of preschool!), and they were asking it all kinds of silly questions :-)

Well, lately they've been really interested in the concept of growing up, including babies starting out in Mommies' tummies and then growing up... and at times have asked silly questions like, "Will we turn into babies again and go back into Mommy's stomach?" I've explained to them that it doesn't really work that way :-p But, in the midst of the silliness, Josie asked, "Will Josie go back into Mommy's stomach and then back into the light?"

I asked her to repeat it a couple of times and she really seemed to be asking if she would go backwards, and first go back into my tummy and then back into "the light."

I really don't know what to think of it, but I've had the weirdest feeling ever since. I'm really not one for ghost stories, supernatural tales, etc... at least MOST of the time, I think it's complete BS. Most of the time I'm a very logical, down-to-earth, woman of science :-)

But... well, I just really don't know what to think of this. Maybe she was just being silly... they make up things all the time: they're very creative and are always making up stories, characters, even words, etc. But, I just really don't know where she would have gotten an idea like this....

Anyway, don't really have more to say than that... just had to blog about this real quick. And, I wanted to ask, has anybody else ever experienced something like this?

Very similar story, but then again not-so-similar.

We didn't tell the Chicklets who was born first. When people asked, we didn't tell them. "It doesn't matter" was our standard reply.

When the Chix were 3 yrs old, Yell told me, "I didn't wanna come out. It was warm & squishy in there after Crab went out."

I did an incredible double take. I asked what she was talking about. She said, "When we was bowned (so cute, she couldn't say her r at that age), I was mad cuz I didn't wanna come out cuz it was wowm and squishy in thewe."

Yell was the 2nd born -- but she didn't know that until she was 6 yrs old -- at that point she was 2.5 inches taller than her twin & her twin needed some leverage.

Freaky stuff.

Oh - and she WAS mad when she came out. She didn't cry. She SCOWLED. She had to go to NICU because she didn't cry. Little crapper.
