So my DD is almost three years old now. About a month ago I was laying on the couch and she comes over to me with a package of baby wipes. She took five or six of them out and laid them over my stomach (which she had bared). She then laid a wipe over my face like a veil. She told me to sit still and came back with a baby spoon in a dish. She mixed the spoon around, stuck it in my mouth (under the veil) popped me on the head with it and said "There. You're pregnant."
I told her I didn't want to be pregnant. Se looked really confused and rearranged the baby wipes. She added a few more. (I was so freaked out I let her use ten baby wipes. Yeah.) She then said "It's my sister." I said "I am not pregnant. I don't want another baby."
She got very quiet and her little eyebrows furrowed as she spoke to me seriously. "It's my sister. You're pregnant. It's a very special child. Deal with it."
We argued for a few minutes and lo and behold, my period is three weeks late. Today my sister came for a visit and DD pulled her shirt up (my sister's) put a baby wipe on it and said "After you get married you will get pregnant." My sister's getting married in July and I bet you 1,000 dollars she'll be knocked up soon thereafter. My sister's face was totally stricken. We take this stuff seriously in my family. My Mom can tell total strangers if they'll be pregnant soon, sometimes how many kids they will and and their genders. To continue on my family's weirdness- Im born on my Grandmother's birthday, my Mom is born on her Grandmothers birthday and my Daughter is born a few weeks before my Mom.
My DH's Grandmother is her town healer in Mexico. We're weird, huh?
