This afternoon I had to run into the bank, and by the time I was done with my transaction Cody and Cordelia had cozied up to Miss Angie, the bank manager, and had each already received four stickers. ("Oh my God!" she said, "They have such amazing manners!" I tried to just thank her and not tell her about the part mere hours earlier where he punched her.) Anyway, she asked me when I was due and Cody turned to me and looked utterly amazed.
"Mom! When did you tell Miss Angie? How did she know about Peanut?"
I replied, "Well, sweetie, she can just tell."
CJP: "How? How can she tell?"
Me, uncomfortably: "Well, honey, she can tell by looking at me. It's kind of obvious there is a baby in there. I look really different now than I usually do."
CJP: "Oh no, Mom, you don't look different at all! You look just like normal."
Me, gratefully: "Thanks, little man. I'm going to need you to keep telling me that."
CJP (remember, we are still in the lobby of the bank): "Mom? I don't really understand how Miss Angie knew. But how did you know?"
Me: "How did I know what, honey?"
CJP: "How did you know that there was a baby inside you?"
Me: "Oh, well, that's kind of a complicated answer. We should probably head home!"
CJP: "Mom, did you just listen to your body?"
Me: "Something like that. Yes. Something exactly like that."
