Conversations with Tess

Tess's commentary on my belly this morning:
"Mom, you sure are a baby carrier!"

***********************

Tess: "Mommy, you said there was blood on the subway."
Me: "What?! There isn't blood on the subway. What do you mean?"
T: "Yes Mommy. Yesterday, when it was raining, you said there was blood on the subway."
M: "Oh! I said there was a flood on the subway. Do you know what a flood is?"
She didn't, so I explained that and how when it rains a lot the subways can flood.
T: "And then Daddy can't come home from work. He just has to stay at work. Like that day. And then he takes a boat."
M: "No, Daddy didn't take a boat."
