When my daughters and I were shopping, the red spring coat which my youngest daughter was putting on reminded me that my eldest daughter was putting it on before.
I said to my youngest daughter, "Do you know this red coat was your sister's? She used to wear it when you were in my womb."
Since she wasn't interested in it, I was sorry a little.
So I asked her, "What were you thinking before you were born?"
She replied, "I was thinking of you, Mom. I was thinking what you were like."
I laughed and said, "Me, too. I was thinking of you, Bee. What you were like."

When my daughters and I were getting ready to go shopping, the red spring coat which my youngest daughter was putting on reminded me that my eldest daughter had worn it before.
I said to my youngest daughter, "Did you know this red coat was your sister's?
Since she didn't seem interested in it, I was a little sad.
