I recently went on a holiday with a friend to see her nan, pop and Aunt Angie. Angie has two kids, Ellie (4 yrs old) and Norton (5 yrs old). Ellie has one of those pregnant barbies, where you can spin her big tummy around and a baby is in there. Well, one day, Norton came up to Angie and us holding the pregnant barbie, and asked Angie if that was how him and Ellie were born. We all laughed as Angie replied, "That's right, when I was at the hospital they just flipped my tummy and you were in there!"
