Rode in Sulaiman’s school bus with him so he would know what to expect and not be scared. Sat next to a very chatty 6-year old girl…
Me: Hi, can I sit with you?
Girl: You’re sooooooooo big!
Me: Yeah, because there’s a baby in my tummy.
Girl: Is you pregnant? Is you? My mummy was pregnant and then we went to the hospital and she wasn’t pregnant and now I have a little brother and he’s one but he doesn’t do anything because he’s a baby.
Me: Yeah, I’m pregnant.
Girl: Do you know where babies come from? I know where babies come from. They come from the husband and they swim from the husband and they look like tadpoles and they swim into the mummy’s tummy and they become babies.
Me: Hmmm… Yup. Sounds about right.
Girl: Do you remember when the baby swam into your tummy? Because I asked my daddy when his tadpoles swam into mummy’s tummy but he said he didn’t remember and he didn’t want to talk about it and we had to talk about something else do you remember?
Me: Yeah, kinda.
Girl: Is the husband’s tadpoles swim in the house and in your clothes and into your tummy?
Me: Hmm… Yeah.
Girl: Yeaaaaaah I knew it.
