Healthy baby

Gwenchik talking to Dad:
Gwen: Do not worry, the baby should be very healthy!
George:?
Gwen: Mom doesn't smoke, drink and only eats sweets.

Reassurance

Lately, Gwenchik wants to eat anything I eat -- a sandwich, a cookie or any fruit.
Gwen: Mom, may I have your honeydew melon?
Me: You just had yours and this one is mine.
Gwen: You won't share with your only daughter?
Me: Now I have to share with you, and soon I'll have to share with my son? There will be nothing left for me...
Gwen: Oh, don't worry about that - he won't be able to eat normal food for a year!

Understressed child

(From George)
Gwenchik doesn't want to eat her vegetables.
Gwen: Can't I just have the honeydew melon?
George: No, you have to eat some real food first.
Gwen: But Mom just ate melon, without eating vegetables first!
George: Well, Mom is an adult, so she gets to make those decisions for herself, and she's pregnant, so she has had a hard day. You're still growing - you need vegetables to make you grow big, strong, smart, and healthy.
Gwen: I've had a hard day too! I'm an understressed child with a pregnant mother, so I should get to eat honeydew melon without any vegetables!
