Last night as I was tucking him in, this one said, "Rub my head mom; it reminds me of when I was born."

"OK. Do you remember when you were born?"

"No."

"Well, I do."

"You do what?"

"I remember your birthday?"

"My birthday?"

"Yeah, the day you were born. I remember."

"Wait a minute ... I was born on my birthday?"


Pause.


"Yeah. That's how it works."

"So, Emerson (our neighbor) was born on her birthday?"

"Yes."

"Wow!"
