pushed out!?!

Abby asked this morning" Mom, when was I pushed out?" Without hestitation I said " January 12, 2004."

Just a few minutes ago we were looking at her magazine and she said "I didn't know how cute these baby penguins are after they've been pushed out."

And then it hit me...my daughter uses "pushed out" rather than the sweeter, more appropriate word "born". I've heard her say it many times while she plays house with Megan but it never really sank in. What else am I tuning out? Yikes. I remember watching moms before I had kids and thinking "Wow..She isn't even listening to them." Hmmm...
