| MOTHER: |
((reading)) 'Then they returned to Nazareth
where the boy Jesus grew up.' |
| LYNNE: |
Is that him growed up? ((pointing to picture
of Jesus as a baby)) |
| MOTHER: |
That's baby Jesus. |
| LYNNE: |
Is he growed up? |
| MOTHER: |
No, he's a baby. |
| LYNNE: |
You say...is he...Mummy is he growed up? |
| MOTHER: |
What, now? |
| LYNNE: |
Mm. |
| MOTHER: |
Oh, he's up, he's up, he's up in the sky. |
| LYNNE: |
Who? |
| MOTHER: |
Jesus. |
| LYNNE: |
How? |
| MOTHER: |
Mm. |
| LYNNE: |
Is that him a baby? (( points to picture
in book)) |
| MOTHER: |
That was when he was a little baby, yes,
but that was a long, long, long, long, long, long time ago. |
| LYNNE: |
Mum, why isn't he a baby any more? |
| MOTHER: |
Well, you were a baby once but you're
not a baby now, are you? Mummy was a baby once, but she's not a baby anymore,
is she? She's a Mummy now. |
| LYNNE: |
No, you're a little girl. |
| MOTHER: |
I'm not a little girl. |
| LYNNE: |
You were. |
| MOTHER: |
I was once, a little girl, just
like you, but I'm big now, and I'm a Mummy, I'm your Mummy. |
| LYNNE: |
How did you get big? |
| MOTHER: |
You grow. |
| LYNNE: |
How? |
| MOTHER: |
When you were a little baby, you were
only about that big ((mother holds hands apart)), but look at you now...You
couldn't speak, all you could do was cry. |
| LYNNE: |
And I could say 'Ga-Ga'. |
