A conversation with a 4 year old at the pool today. Enjoy.
"Hi my name is Lilly." (a very curious 4 year old...staring intently at my huge stomach)
"Hi Lilly, my name is Jen."
"Jen, whats that?" (pointing at my belly)
"Thats a baby."
"Whats it doing in there?"
"Growing & taking a nap." (Where is Lilly's mom?)
"Can he come out and play?"
"No not right now, he'll come out later."
"Well how does he get out of there, through your skin?"
(Err...how do I explain this to not-my-4-year-old?)
"He comes out of a trap door beneath my belly."
(I decided now was the time to walk away as she was reaching for my bathing suit to look for the door. Hahaha.)
