Because, Babies.

Julianna (she’s 9) has engorged herself on Doritos: Daddy, I’m full. I can’t eat another one.

Isabella (7): Yes you can. Your stomach can get bigger. Because, babies.

Me: Well, that’s not exactly how it works.

Iz: Daddy, stop. Let me explain.

I am out of the conversation.

Iz: You see, the baby grows in your stomach, so everything you eat, the baby eats.

J: Even, Doritos?

Iz: Yes.

Me: Can I say something here? Because you are 7. Biology.

Iz: No, Daddy. No.


Iz: The baby keeps growing until your tummy is big and fat. Then it comes out. That’s why you have a belly-button.

J: Daddy, is this true?

Me: Um, well, no, but yeah, kinda.

Iz: See,

Me: Who wants ice cream?

Girls: Me!!!!
