Teaching Moment.

American Red Cross called last week and I answered on speaker phone.  After I hung up, Marco asked me why they wanted my blood. 

I explained that Mama and Marco are strong because we have healthy blood and big muscles.  But not everyone is strong, so sometimes we have to help others.  They were calling to ask me to give my blood to people who aren't strong so that they can have healthy blood and big muscles too! 

(I must say, I was pretty pleased with that response.)

Marco: "Ooh... want to see me fight a monster?"

Perhaps I overthought it a little.
