Post-Bath Conversation

"Angelica, do you want a little brother or a sister?"

"Hmm.... a sister!"

"A sister?"

"A sister like Natasha!"

"Do you think the baby's going to be a boy or a girl?"

"A girl."

"Not a boy then?"

"Noooooooooo!"

"Well, we'll see tomorrow."

A gasp comes from the dripping Angelica as I continue drying her after her bath.

"No! Baby's coming too soon!"

"What...? oh, no, Angelica, the baby's not coming tomorrow..."

"babies sleep in a cot."

"Yes, the baby will sleep in a cot."

"In my room?"

"No, the baby won't be sleeping in your room." I paused. "Natasha might be sleeping in your room soon though. Would you like Natasha to sleep in your room?"

A look of glee fills Angelica's face.

"Yeah!!"

"Well, that's good."

"Natasha has big feet," Angelica remarks.

"Well, yes, but I'm sure there'll be room for them too."

Angelica considers this for a moment and nods.

"Bye bye, bathroom," she comments and scarpers, leaving a trail of clothes and towels behind her.
