are those all yours?

while i was at the "bread store" the other day, a lady asked if "all those boys" were mine. i told her yes. then she asked me if they were all brothers. i told her yes again, but this time i gave her a rather confused look. how could they be all mine and not be all brothers? i guess the lady must have sensed that her question was a little odd, and tried to make things all better by saying, "i was just wondering if they were all brothers because they all have a different hair color, and they might have had a different daddy". really? a different daddy? well, that just makes the whole awkwardness of that comment go right away! again, i gave her a funny look but couldn't really think of anything to say back to her. the woman cleared her throat, told me that they were all cute, and then walked away.

i have to agree with her, though. on the cute part at least. well, i guess i can agree with the different hair color too. but the different daddy thing? not these boys. they are all dbaggs clones with a little bit of me mixed in. but just a little bit.

i wonder what that woman's comments would have been if she noticed they all have a different eye color! just check it out for yourself:

dark brown hair with big brown eyes! definitely not my child, and definitely his daddy's. dbaggs figured out a way to skip the whole gene mixing and replicate himself this time. i was only the host body. no jbaggs genes required.

blonde hair and happy blue eyes. this one must be mine. and boy am i happy that this one is mine. he's irresistible. he looks like me right? just make me happy and say yes. you don't need to tell the truth. (just for the record, this one is dbaggs spawn, too. they all are.)

light brown hair and bluish green eyes, complete with the cutest set of freckles i have ever seen. a sure way to ethen's heart is to mention that he has his mommy's freckles. he blushes every time. i think he loves them as much as i do.

very dark brown hair and amazing hazel eyes. seriously....this boy's eyes are amazing. and no, i am not biased at all. imagine how he looks when he's smiling. just in case you 3rd grade girls are reading--this boy only has eyes for his mommy! and for pigs. pink pigs. that oink. and roll in mud. so if you meet that criteria, then he's all yours.

and just in case the bread store lady is reading this, here is the answer to your question:

yes, those boys are all mine. and they are all dbaggs brood as well. i am just as confused about it all as you are. or seemed to be. but, let me tell you that genetics is an amazing thing. its a little confusing, too. i've got four pieces of evidence to prove it.

and boy do i love "all those boys".
