Overheard this morning from the trio on the couch...
Fiona: "Where did Cocoa come from?"
Dan: "We got him from the SPCA. Mommy and I went to get him before you were born."
Fiona: "Were grandma and Papa there to take care of me?"
Dan: "No, you weren't even born yet. You were just an egg inside Mommy."
Fiona: "Did Mommy eat me?"
Dan: (laughing) "No, your egg was there since mommy was a baby."
Fiona: "But how did Mommy get in Grandma's belly?"
Dan: "She came from an egg that was there since grandma was a baby."
Fiona: "But who was Grandma's mommy?"
Dan: "You mean your greatgrandmother...I don't know, maybe mommy knows her name..." (Dan went on to explain who his grandparents and greatgrandparents are...) "Did you know you have eggs in your belly right now?"
Fiona: "I have eggs in my belly right now? Am I a chicken?"
And later while sitting on the dog,
Fiona: "Am I disobeying cocoa?"
Dan: "No, that's not possible"
Fiona: "Well, he wants me to get off of him."
Dan: "Well, I guess you've got a point."
And later still...
Fiona: "I have eggs in my belly and when I grow up my eggs will grow bigger and bigger and I will poop! my eggs out like a chicken!"
Dan (laughing) "I don't think so! That's not what Mommy did. Do you remember how Elijah was born?"
Fiona: "He wasn't an egg, he was a baby!"
