My 4-year-old was asking about childbirth and asked, “did it hurt?”
As I was giving my carefully considered answer about how, “yes it did but it was worth it,” she interrupted, “no. I mean, did it hurt *me*? Did I get a plaster?”
The kids were asking me what time they were all born and I said the youngest was born at 1:29am, and they all agreed that it must have been nice that she just came out while I was sleeping.
