Naked as the Day You Were Born
Milo: What is the baby in your belly wearing?
Me: She's naked.
Milo: (aghast) NAKED?
Me: Yes.
Milo: She's NAKED?
Me: Yes.
Milo: Why is she naked?
Me: Because everyone is naked when they're born. You were naked.
Milo: But now, when I wake up from a nap, I have clothes on.
Me: That's true. But when you were born you were naked.
Milo: (Peering into my belly button) Can I see her?
Me: (Thinking he probably just wants to check that she really is naked.) Not yet. You'll see her pretty soon, though. And then we'll put some clothes on her.
Milo: How is she going to get out?
Me: There's a way. I'll tell you when you're older.
Milo: Okay.
Me: She's naked.
Milo: (aghast) NAKED?
Me: Yes.
Milo: She's NAKED?
Me: Yes.
