Ask Me, I won't say No

as we got pajamafied for bed tonight, little man stared at my suddenly huge belly (I think it's mostly attributable to ice cream today and will be flat again tomorrow).

Little Man: wow, your belly is fat
Me: well, it's getting big. the baby has to have room to grow
Little Man: Did you EAT the baby?
Me: no, I didn't eat the baby, it's just growing.
Little Man: Well did the doctor cut the baby out and put it in your belly?
Me: nope. the doctor didn't do anything.
Little Man: well, how did it get in there?
...oh man. really? already? you are four!
Me: well, Daddy helped me make the baby and put it in there.
Little Man: oh. ok.
WHEW! Crisis averted.

in other news from our top 4 year old reporter:

to his unshaven stepmother.  It's only been 2 days, c'mon!
Little Man: Mommy, why do you have hair under your arms?

when I am so exhaustedly trying to put him to bed so I can get into my own
Little Man: Why are you going to bed? Grownups can stay up and do whatever they want.

it's a bang up night.

Thanks to LG for an awesome time with us at the mall before this round of serious questions. I was well fortified thanks to ice cream, adult time and shopping.
