I was working in the BIG garden at the Jensens' house the day after announcing to my children that they were going to have a new sibling. Arami was standing at the end of the row talking to Katie, a relative of the Jensens who is barely 5.
Arami - My mom is gonna get pregnant soon.
Me - Actually Ara, I am pregnant now.
Arami - No..I mean that you are going to have a baby in your tummy.
Me - I know baby, There is a baby in there now.
Arami - NOW!!!!
Me - Yep
(she then walks over to me, while her friend Katy watches, and starts to professionally feel around my tummy looking for feet.)
Me - Arami, that baby is way too small for us to be able to feel yet, we have to wai a little longer.
Arami - Well, Sister Lays' baby's feet are over here.
Me - Cool.
(Arami then walks away, and Katy comes over to start her conversation)
Katy - So...you probaby have to go to the doctor now to get cut.
Me - I don't think so.
Katy - Well, how is the baby going to get out.
Me - Well, some babies come out a different way than being cut out.
Katy - HOW?
Me - (pensively thinking....)well, they come out of the birth canal.
Katy - Ohhhhh...the birth canal. Do snails have a birth canal?
Me - hmm, I don't think so.
Katy - Oh...Now I know why you are so fat, it is because you are pregnant.
Me - (laughing)
Katy - So...when you have the baby you aren't going to be fat anymore.
Me - I don't think it will work like that for me.
Katy then went on to explain to me that in order to lose weight, I needed a special drink mix, and a special blender that makes loud noises.
Sounds remeniscant of a conversation I had a couple of years ago with Maira trying to convince me of a special juicer and how it would save my life!
