Daughter is talking about babies. She loves them, and as one of her aunts is due any minutes with baby number four (yes, some people don't know when to stop - JOKE!) it is all daughter can talk about.
Actually conversation on the ride home from dropping her brother off at camp:
Daughter: This baby is either going to be a girl or a boy baby, right?
Me: Correct.
Daughter: So it will be a she or a he.
Me: Right.
Daughter: I know where babies come out.
Me: (concerned that I have to have this conversation with a four year old. I a mean - it is not even 9 am yet! Urgh!) Where do babies come out? (Yes, I had to ask.)
Daughter: Babies come out of the hospital! That's where you got us, right?
Me: (too shocked and relieved to do anything but laugh!)
Daughter: Mommy? Why are you laughing?
OK, now I know that I should correct her assumption that I just went and somehow picked her up at the hospital, but I really feel like I've dodged a bullet with this one, and I haven't had breakfast yet so I didn't want to get into the talk anyway. I know that next time I won't be so lucky.
