Change of Heart

Ms. I had been picking out her old baby dresses and pink baby clothes. She brings them to me and tells me how her baby "stister" will wear these, how her baby stister will be so cute in this. She has an entire wardrobe picked out. She has declared that her baby stister will sleep in her room and she will help momma take care of the baby.
In an effort to make this gender neutral, we mentioned that when a baby got older, she'd want to play with Ms. I's toys. What a rapid change in emotion!! She thought about this. She then declares she no longer wants a stister. She does Not want to have to share anything. Giving her old clothes away was fun, but if the sister gets into Ms. I's chapstick, there's gonna be some bloodshed.
So we're in the car on the way home from church
Ms. I "Momma, why does there have to be a baby anyway?"
Momma "Because the baby is a gift from God and we don't give special gifts back."
MS. I "Well, can't God just make the baby Distappear?"
Momma "I'm not sure that it would work that way honey"
Ms. I "But momma, I don't want a stister and I've already got brothers"
Momma "Look there's a birdie on that sign" <<>>
