"FIVE WEEKS!!" ~preschooler

I was subbing in a pre-k class a few days back and a little girl asked if there was a baby in my belly. I smiled and told her yes. Then she looked very concerned and said, "You know, that baby is going to be in there for FIVE WEEKS!!" (as if that were an eternity for her) If only! Five weeks would be so nice, but on the other hand, a lot longer than nice months would be nice to prepare to bring a child into this world. That part is a lot of work!
