Discussions in a car

On our way home today from a friend's birthday party we passed the hospital.  Here is the discussion that ensued:
Elijah: Mama you were in that hospital?
Me: Yes.  And you came to visit me when I had Grace.
Elijah: Yeah and then Grace got sick and had to go there and I got to play with the toys?
Me: That's right.  She had to be put under the lights to make her better.
Elijah: Why did you go to the hospital to have Gracie?
Me: Well, she was in my tummy and I needed to get her out, so I went to the hospital.
Elijah: Oh. You had a doctor help get her out?
Me: Well I had a midwife and she helped.
Elijah: Oh.  Will K go to the hospital to get her baby out?
Me: Yes.
Elijah: What about J?  Did she go to the hospital?
Me: No.  She had her baby at her house.
Elijah: Oh.  Did her doctor go to her house.
Me: Her midwife did.
Elijah: Oh.  (silence...feeling pretty good about this conversation.)
Elijah: I want to have a baby in my belly. (well... it was going well...)
Me: Well, um, you are a boy.  And you will be a GREAT daddy some day, but only girls can have babies in their bellies.
Elijah: Oh.  Well, MR can have the baby then.
Me: REALLY?  Okay.  She'll be happy to know that...  However, having a baby is a really big responsibility.  Maybe you should wait a bit.
Elijah: Don't worry mama, we'll wait until we are five. (almost run off the road, I'm laughing so hard. But trying to keep it all in.)
Me: Five.  Wow.  Well, you know that I was almost 30 when I had you.
Elijah: That's a long time away.
Me: Yeah, but it's a lot of fun to be a kid and play and live your life a bit.
(silence)
Elijah: Well, okay.  We'll wait. (phew)
Me: I think that's a good choice buddy!
Elijah: For now, I'll be a mommy monster and have lots of babies and give them some mommy milk!!!!!!
-- that's my boy!
