Bug: Mom, why are the baby’s feet up here in your belly and the head is down here?
Me: Because the baby is getting ready to come out in a few weeks and she’s trying to put herself in the right place to do it.
Bug: Oh. I wish I could catch her when she comes out.
Me: You do?
Bug: Yeah, I would be good at that, Mom.
(pause)
Bug: But Mom, wait. Where is she gonna come out?
Me: Ummmmmmmmm….
Ann Curry: Today in the Obama campaign…
Bug: MOM! OBAMA!
Me: Yeah? You know Obama?
Bug: Yeah! Obama! MOM! IT’S LIKE BAHAMAS! OBAMA BAHAMAS!
Me: Yes! Let’s talk about how Obama is like the Bahamas!
Bug: OBAMA BAHAMAS! OBAMA BAHAMAS! OBAMA BAHAMAS!
