Ian: (to Mom as Dad is putting his breakfast dishes away) Kids grow up?

Mom: (to Ian) That’s right, Ian, kids grow up.

Ian: And parents get more kids?

Pause

Mom: No…Ian, no more kids for your parents…

Enter Morgan fashionably late and looking fabulous.

Morgan: (to anyone as Dad is exiting to get a shower and get dressed for the day) What? No more kids?

Dad: (as he exits) No more brothers or sisters for you and Ian.

Morgan (satisfied with this answer): Oh, okay.

Pause.  Dad continues downstairs.

Morgan (to Mom): Hey, Mom?  How do babies get produced into bellies?

Dad turns the shower on and takes his last nice, long hot shower as the father of a totally innocent little girl.
