Conversation with a 3-year-old boy, 3-year-old girl, and 4-year-old girl, after church on Sunday...
3YOB: *mumblemumbleunintelligiblewords* come fwom?
Me: Say that again?
3YOB: *moremumblingandunintelligiblewords* come fwom?
Me: Yeah, I have no idea what you're saying, buddy.
3YOG: [exasperated] Him said...*mumblemumbleslightlyunderstandablewords* come from?
Me: [finally getting the gist of it] Oh... where did Ariana come from?
3YOB: Yes.
Me: Well, uh... from God.
4YOG: [without missing a beat] Nuh-uh, she came from your belly!
Me: Well, technically, yes, but God put her there, so... same thing.
4YOG: I know how babies get in your belly!
Me: [raising an eyebrow] Oh you do, do you?
4YOG: Yup. You eat a lot of food and then you get a baby in your belly.
Me: Really. I think you should go tell your mommy about that.

Kids are so funny. So, you eat a lot of food and that's it? A baby gets in your belly? Sounds pretty simple to me ;)
Is that how a baby gets in your belly!?!?! I'll have to go tell David. And to think all these years...
I wonder what her answer would be to how a baby gets OUT of your belly. On second thought...never mind.
I love the simplemindedness of children. We adults complicate things so much :)
