Where Did I Come From?



Please note: There is a naughty word in this post. I never swear and I'm kind of embarassed to have a bad word on here. But this is a true story.

My two nieces were watching tv the other night when a commercial came on showing a fetus in utero. There were pictures of aging babies and voice overs saying things like "4 weeks, brain waves are recorded," and "10 weeks, heart beats." I don't actualy know what the voice overs were, but something like that. My nieces were totally entranced by the photos. They've asked plenty of questions about where they came from and they were old enough to grill me about my last pregnancy. But here is a very interesting conversation that my brother-in-law had with my niece Chloe:

Dave: You were just like that when you were in your mommy's tummy.

Chloe: Yeah, I know that. I remember.

Dave: Oh, really?

Chloe (with a totally straight, but kind of confused face and her hands up): Yeah, I opened my eyes and I was like, 'What the hell am I doing in here?'

That's hilarious. I think I'd say the same thing... if I remembered being in there. :-)
