"Well, thank you," I said. "I like your dress." "It's purple," she said. "I know. And red." Emma just kept staring at me. "It's journal nice," I said. Erik was on my left, stuffing food into his journal mouth. "This is great," he announced. He tipped his head to Lissy and saluted Phil with his knife, which sent a small glob of cranberry sauce across the table. Then Emma was tapping me on the arm again. "I'm itchy," she said, sliding the hem of her journal dress up with one hand and yanking at the stretchy top of her tights with the other. "My tights are itchy." Her little belly bulged over the waistband. She stuck her finger in her belly button. "This is my belly button," she said, smiling. "I'm feeling so satisfied with everything I'm learning in my midwife classes," Lissy was saying. "It's fascinating. It's incredible how much is going on with the female body. What's really amazing and even frightening is all the things that can go wrong," and then she launched into a graphic explanation of how she'd seen this film where a fetus had grown outside of this woman's uterus and how when they opened her up, the fetus was attached to her pancreas.
