Dev: Mom, what would you do if you found out you were pregnant again?
Me: Cry…
Dev: You’d be sad?
Me: Well, I’d never be sad at the start of a new life…but I’m tired, and I’d be frustrated, and I’d be worried.
Dev: You’d be worried about Downs Syndrome?
Me: Because I’m that damn old, Dev?!
Dev: Well, um… you’re not damn old…you’re just…old.
