"Grandma," Jamal said soft as a whisper, because a question had suddenly blossomed.
"What, baby?"
"Were you ever a little girl?"
Grandma laughed.  "A little girl .. Why yes, I was a little girl -- once."
Jamal look and looked at Grandma.
"Grandma," he said after a while. "Were you a baby, too?"
Grandma smiled.  "I sure was.  Your ol' grandma was even once the baby on the way..."
With that, Grandma tells Jamal the story of her birth.  And what a story it is.
