The Daily Nusz

Let me set the scene . . .

Earlier in the day, Savannah and her friend Kate were drawing with chalk on the driveway.  They drew a big colorful figure that had a vague resemblance to a shark.  In fact, they named it “shark” and stated that it was going to get “bigger and bigger and eat all of us!”.

Later that evening, Kevin was outside with Savannah.  He absentmindedly stepped on her chalk drawing.

Savannah:  Daddy!  You’re stepping on my picture!

Daddy:  Your picture?  What is it?

Savannah:  A shark.  The shark is going to drink lots of water and then have a baby!

Daddy:  Oh, is that how you have a baby?

Savannah:  Yes!

Daddy (who catches sight of our pregnant neighbor, Kelly):  Savannah, there’s Ms. Kelly.  Did you know that Ms. Kelly is going to have a baby? 

Savannah:  Ms.  Kelly, you’re going to have a baby? 

Kelly:  Yes, I have a baby in my tummy.

Savannah:  You drank lots of water?

Kelly (confused):  Um, yes, I guess I drink lots of water.

(Here is where Kevin explained to Ms. Kelly where babies come from.  She’s grateful that she now knows.)
