The More Direct Approach

"Mommy has a baby in her tummy. You're going to be a big brother."
"Oh, wow."
"Yep, isn't it exciting."
"Uh huh. How many minutes?"
"Well, it's going to be a while."
"Tomorrow?"

Breaking the News, Another Subtle Try

"Take a look at this."
"My baby bed?"
"Yep. This crib isn't getting much use lately. I bet we could find someone who would like to use it."
"The cats sleep in it."
Gonna be a tough nut to crack.

Breaking the News, Attempt 1

"Hey, G, come here a sec."
"What, Daddy?"
"Would you like a little baby in the house?"
"No. I already have Baby Elephant. And NotBob."
Hmm....

Deja Vu

The Wife: "So, can I just bitch about something for a second?"
"What is it you've been doing?"

Who Might Be Giants?

You know you've been a couple too long when:
Someone says "Pineapple hands," and you both start singing.

Pineapple hands, pineapple hands / doing the things a pineapple can.

Not Quite Clear Enough

Me, singing: "You can act real rude and totaly removed and I can act like an imbecille / we can dance / we can dance...."
Her: "Who sings that song?"
"Men Without Hats."
"Are they the ones with the funny tiered helmets?"
"Devo? Nnnno. Those men had hats."
"Oh. I thought they were being ironic."
