mia: momma, can we take baby out?

momma: why?

mia: so i can take him to school, and i'll put him right back.

momma: how are you going to take him out?

mia: let me think about it. [sits with her hands under her chin, in thinker pose.] well, we need something smooth, not sharp like a knife, to take him out.

momma: then how are you going to take him out?

mia: you know that line on your belly, momma, we should do this [gesturing pulling it apart] and pull out baby.

mommy: that sounds like it's going to hurt.

mia: no it won't, i'll be careful.
