My 3 year old son asked us at the dinner table one evening, "when are we going to have a baby?" My wife and I had already decided that we were only going to have one so we were not looking forward to this question. We looked at one another with that "oh crap, what do we do now" look and knowing he was waiting a response, I told him this.
"You know, babies are a lot of work. They need to be fed and their diapers need to be changed. Babies need a lot of attention."
We can see the gears running in his head as he pondered this answer. After a couple of seconds he said, "maybe we will just get a dog."
He never asked again. Case closed.
