Kate has a little trouble understanding one fact of anatomy… that her ribs are on the inside of her body… no matter what I tell her, she is convinced that her “ribs” are, well, on the surface.
Last night at a local restaurant, we were talking about whether Kate is going to have a brother or a sister (I can feel Jenny’s blood pressure rising right now), and she pointed all around my belly and said “There’s a brother right there, there, there, and there… there’s a sister, there’s a sister…” etc. So I said “What, am I having a litter or something?”
“Yes!! A lizard!! You’re having a lizard!” she said excitedly, as she went back to prodding my stomach, this time pointing out where all the lizards were located.
Then she pointed a little, uh, higher. “And that’s where the baby is,” she proclaimed to everyone in earshot. “Right there, where your ribs got bigger.”
