So I was sitting there relaxing when the toddler walks up and notes the spider veins on my leg. The conversation went something like this:
Toddler: *gasp* Hey momma! You're cracking.
Me: Huh?
Toddler: *points to spider veins* You're cracking apart. Why are you cracking?
Me: *chuckles* My skin isn't cracking, baby. Those are tattoos that Father Time gave me.
Toddler: Fadder Time?
Me: Yep. Father Time gave me those tattoos.
Toddler: Really? How do you get them?
Me: Well, you have to get older. When you get older, you might get these tattoos.
Me: *notices a boo-boo on his leg* How'd you get your wound there? Did you fall?
Toddler: Well, let me tell you what happened. Once upon a time, I was walking in the woods. Then it started snowing really hard and I tripped on the ice! {Note - we live no where near snow, he's never been in snow} Then, Super-Caillou {Note - a kid's show he watches} came along and saved me! He saved me when I was a baby. Then I started to grow and grow and it hurt my leg.
Me: *gives him a skeptical look* Really? Wow, that sounds like an amazing story.
Toddler: *nods hardily* Yes. It was.
