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?”
Kids can say the darnest things and never mean any harm. Thanks for the laugh.
LOL! Thanks for sharing the laugh.
Sure…. Hope you all had as much fun as we did on Moms Day.
