At dinner.
Inga: My baby's name is "pink"!
Me: Where is your baby?
Inga: It's coming?
Me: Where is the baby coming from?
Inga: The Magazine.
Me: Babies don't come from magazines, where do you think you came from?
Inga: I came from school.
Me: Ummm.
Inga: Actually (Inga often starts sentences with "actually"), I didn't come from anywhere. (starts gesticulating wildly and muttering).
Me: Inga, babies come from their mommies bellies. (long explanation of several of our friends recent pregnancies, distended bellies and the ensuing baby-- Inga's eyes glaze over).
Inga: I have a pink baby! (pulls shirt up) In here (points to belly). I have a pink baby in my belly button. It is getting bigger (puffs out belly). Do you want some milk, baby? (offers her milk glass to her belly button).
Great, I have the world's first pregnant two year old.
