Van: "So why doesn't grandma have any babies?"
Me: "She does, me and Aunty Svea"
Van: "No but I mean new babies. Like you said you could go to the hospital and you'd come home with a new baby. So why doesn't grandma have any new babies."
Me: "Well you can't have babies forever. Sure I might be able to have 1 or 2 more babies, but at some point women get too old to have babies."
Van: "And you'll turn into grandma?"
Me: "Yep."
Me: "What do you think you'll do when you're a grownup?"
Van: "Well if there arent' any dinosaur bones left, I think I'll be a Steelers player or a Steelers fan."
Me: "That's cool. Except you don't want to be a player."
Van: "Why not?"
Me: "Well when playing football you can get hit in the head and get something called a concussion. It's bad for you."
Me: "Do you think you'll have babies when you get big?"
Van: "No. Not from my tummy."
Me: "Oh right, but do you think you'll get married and have a family?"
Van: "Yes. And when I have a little boy, I'll name him Van, because that will remind you of me when I was a little boy."
Me: "You're going to be a grown up pretty soon"
Van: "But not too soon right? Because I just turned 5. I'm just a little boy. A few days won't be my birthday."
Me: "That is true, you have to wait a whole year before you'll turn 6, and then 7 and so on. You have a while I guess."
