Baby Naming

When Diane found out she was pregnant, she told the good news to anyone who would listen. But her 4-year-old son overheard some of her parents' private conversations. One day when Diane and her 4-year-old were shopping a woman asked the little boy if he was excited about the new baby. "Yes!" the 4-year-old said, "and I know what we're going to name it, too. If it's a girl we're going to call her Christina, and if it's another boy we're going to call it quits!"
