Make me one?
"Mom?" B asked Simone, glancing up from the book she was reading.
"Yes?"
"Make me a baby?"
"No." Simone returned to her reading.
"Mom?"
Big sigh. Simone put the book aside. "Yes?"
"Make me a baby PUH-LEAZZZZZ?"
"No. I am not making you a baby."
"Okay," B conceded. "CC can make me one."
"She cannot," Simone retorted, mildly horrified. B's 14 year old sister hadn't even started Grade 9 yet! "She's too young."
B held up a palm. "Okay, okay. So how old do you have to be to have a baby?"
"You have to be at least 18 or 19."
B looked up for a moment and, his lips thinning, "Okay. I'll wait three or four years and THEN CC can make me a baby." He paused for a moment then his face lit up. "Wait! How old is M.?"
Ugh. THAT sister happens to be 18 years old...
