Classic Conversation

Following is a conversation between Maggie ...

and Chap

 (Out of the mouths of babes!!) 

This conversation occurred while Maggie and Chap were playing together... in a room all by themselves (Whit was outside with Corbett), and I had the pleasure of overhearing this...

Chap:  Whit is the youngest.

Maggie: No, you were born at the same time.  You were both in Mommy's tummy together.

Chap:  Yes, because we're twins.

Chap:  But I'm bigger than Whit, and you are bigger than me!?

Maggie:  You were both born early.  You were supposed to be born in January, but you were born in November. Whit got sick, and his heart stopped beating and he was dying.

Chap: Was I?

Maggie: No, just Whit. You had to be born because he had to be born. The doctors told mommy and daddy that he wasn't supposed to live. Then, when he was one or something he would be a vegetable if he lived.  But, he is not a vegetable!  Isn't that crazy!

Chap: Yes!  That is crazy!  He is NOT a vegetable!!

Oh, the innocence in that conversation was classic, and priceless.
