How I envisioned the conversation:
Me: "Boys, do you know what's special about tomorrow?"
James: "What is tomorrow? What is special about tomorrow?"
Me: "Tomorrow we get some very exciting news!"
Owen: "Ziding news?"
Me: "Yes, tomorrow is the day that Mommy and I will go to the doctor's office--"
James: "Will she get a shot?"
Me: "No, tomorrow we will go to the doctor's office and the doctor can tell us whether we are having a girl baby or a boy baby!"
James: "Yay!"
Owen: "Yay!"
James: "I think it will be a girl baby!"
Owen: "New baby!"
James: "Also, we intend to be fully cooperative with whoever is babysitting us while you're gone!"
How the conversation actually played out:
Me: "Boys, do you know what's special about tomorrow?"
Owen: <pukes out his dinner all over the table>
Me: "Okay, well I'll tell you once I get Owen cleaned--"
James: <gags up his mouthful of tomato after watching Owen get sick>
