Too Much Information

Last night at 11 pm the phone rang. It was a call I had been expecting. Our friend Heather was in labor and I rushed to her house to spend the night with their daughter Rachel.

Caleb had also been looking forward to the arrival of Rachel’s baby sister. At breakfast this morning Caleb wanted to know where mommy was. Andy explained to him that I was at Rachel’s house, and that Mrs. Heather was having the baby.

Caleb said, “ Do they have to cut her tummy open to get the baby out?”

Andy said, “ No, I don’t think they’ll have to do that.”

Caleb responded, “Then how’s that baby going to get out?”

Andy quickly saved himself by saying, “Yes, they are going to have to cut the baby out after all”.

Caleb seemed satisfied with this explanation
