Mama: Oh. Yes. You are the same but bigger than when you were little.
Little C: No. I mean, is any part of my body the same as when I was little?
Mama: Oh. That. Just your eyes, Dear.
Little C: What about the rest of me?
Mama: All bigger.
Little C: (Twisted consternation across his face. Clearly, not enough of an answer.)
Mama: (Searching for satisfactory ending to discussion.) Do you feel different than when you were a baby?
Little C: How would I know? I forgot what I felt like as a baby.
Mama: Darling One, I will never, ever forget what you felt like as a baby. (SMOOCH)
