The kids and I were in the car and – I am not sure how this subject came up – Elizabeth said something about what it would be like if she had a baby at age 15. I told her that if she were 15 with a baby, she’d be in big trouble. She thought for a moment and said, “Well, if God is the one who puts babies in your tummy, why would I be in trouble, Mama?” I sat there for a minute, dumbfounded to say the least! I finally told her, “Because you have to ask God to put them in your tummy!!”
