Conversation:

Here's how it went...

Me: Zoe did you know that the baby's ears are developed enough now that he can hear us? He might even recognize our voices when he is born.

Zoe: You mean the baby has big ears?

Me: (laughing my tail off) Not exactly. His ears are just big enough to hear us now. They aren't huge or anything, I hope.

Zoe: Oh (long pause, then she leans in close to my belly) Hey there baby. How's it going in there?


Now that she understands what I meant, she talks to my belly all the time.
