So as we were having dinner tonight, I was telling Lauren a story about a guy I work with, and I happened to mention that he and his wife don't have any children. As I was continuing on with my story, Katie interrupted me and asked me why they didn't have any babies. I told Katie that sometimes God doesn't give some mommies and daddies babies. Katie then replied, "maybe she took a pill." I nearly choked on my dinner as Lauren and I looked at each other with a look that bordered somewhere between shock, bewilderment, and muted laughter. I then asked Katie what she meant by that, to which she responded, "sometimes mommies take these pills, they eat them, and then they don't have any babies. But that's like telling God you don't want any babies." We didn't know quite how to respond to that, other than to tell her that's pretty much correct, and then explain to her why that was wrong, but caution that we don't talk about that kind of thing. (We also told her that we don't know if the woman took a pill or not).
We had a good laugh after that.
