more confusion

As usual, we prayed last night before munching our (yummy thai food) dinner. Many times Abby prays, but this time deferred to Matthew. Apparently he did it wrong.

A: Daddy, you forgot to pray about the orphans and the houses that, that, that the water went rushing through!
M: OK, we can pray about that...

Matthew then prays about Katrina victims and the many orphans in the world (note: Abby ALWAYS prays about the orphans). Then start eating and Abby chimes in again:

A: Mommy, when you were born, were you a girl?
G: Yes, I was always a girl.
A: Daddy when you were born, were you a girl?
M: No, I was always a boy, even in my mommy's tummy. (pause) Abby, when you were born, you were a.... (waiting for answer)
A: Orphan!

We clarified that this is not true, that she was and is a girl, and not an orphan, thank goodness.
