Conversation between my 4-year-old and my mother at the Mothers Day Pizza Party held at my extremely pregnant sister’s house yesterday:
4-year-old: “So, the next baby to come will be yours, right Nana?”
Nana: “WHAT????”
4-year-old: “You’re having a baby next, right?”
Nana: “Uh…no…”
4-year-old: “Yes you are! You’re a grownup lady. All the grownup ladies are gonna have babies. So you’re gonna have a baby next.”
Nana: “No, dear. I’m too old to have babies now. I already had my babies a long time ago.”
4-year-old, disappointed: “Oh…. Really?”
Nana: “Yes.”
4-year-old: “Okay.”
There’s silence for a few minutes while my 4-year-old studies Nana’s face carefully. Then she says, very gravely, to my mother:
“I guess you’re gonna die soon, huh?”
