We are seven. Seven weeks old. Do you feel 10,000 times bigger than when we were conceived? I don’t know, do you? Something feels different. Maybe because your hands and legs are starting to grow. What? I know things too. Oh really? Like that our optic cups and nasal pits are forming? Or that our brains are dividing into five separate vesicles. Into what? Wait, have you been reading a dictionary? Of course not, I don’t have eyes yet, silly. Okay, okay—just get to the point and tell them how big we are. We’re as big as cucumber seeds. Was that so hard?
