BEGIN SCENE

(Two adorable and rambunctious little children sit playing together in a rare quiet moment.)

Little Miss: You know what, Little Bro?  I think things have gotten way too quiet around here.

Little Mister: Sheesh, don’t I know it!  All of this peace and quiet is downright BORING.

Miss: Yeah, we need to shake things up a bit.  You know what I think we’re missing?

Mister: No, what?

Miss: A new baby brother or sister!

Mister: Man, you are right!  We need a third!  Because you know what they say, all of “the greats” came in threes!

Miss: Yeah!  Like the Three Musketeers!  Or the Three Stooges!  Or the Three Amigos!

Mister: Don’t forget the Three Blind Mice!

Miss: Huh?  I’m not sure about that one.  But I get your point.  We need a third kid in this place to really make our crazy family complete.

Mister: Hey wait.  Didn’t I hear Mommy and Daddy saying something about a new baby that’s on the way?

Miss: Oh yeah.  I have noticed that Mommy has been getting a bit more rotund in the midsection…if you know what I mean.

Mister: Hmm.  I have no idea what “rotund” means.  What do kids learn in preschool these days?  But I do remember Mommy telling me that we are going to have a new baby brother or sister in February!

Miss: Hooray!  That’s awesome!  If it’s a girl we can name her Annabelle!

Mister: And if it’s a boy we can name him Elliott!

Miss: I like that.  Let’s keep it simple.  Just as long as she or he knows who the BOSS is in this place.

Both (in unison): Yeah, ME!

END SCENE

(Though our family journey continues…with blessings x3!!!)

(As an endnote, the Lab Tech kept commenting on how ACTIVE the baby was during the ultrasound, saying “Be still, baby!  Be still!”  We laughed because the Little Miss and Mister were the same way.  I guess it’s safe to assume that the kids will get their wish of a wild and crazy trio!)
