A relative was making plans to go into the hospital to have her tubes tied. She explained to her little 4 year-old daughter that she would be going to the hospital for surgery. In a very concerned way she said, "Oh, mommie, are you sick?" Her mother explained that she wan't sick that she was having surgery. The little girl asked why and her mother said, "I'm just having my tubes tied."

The little girl called my niece and was whining like she was about to cry. She said, "Oh, Aunt Kim, mommie is having sur'gury," to which Kim asked, "That sounds serious, why is she having surgery?" She answered, "She's having her boobs tied."
