Unless that kid was me and knew what pregnancy meant.
So... if 8 year old me talked to her
woman: The doctor just sucks out the pregnancy through a straw...
me: What? That makes no sense! Pregnancy means that the mom has a baby inside of her. It's not the word for the baby!
woman: Um... aren't you a little confused? It isn't a baby, it's just a pregnancy!
me: I know where babies come from! I've read books and seen the pictures. A fetus looks just like a baby, and embryos don't stay that weird looking for long. My baby sister used to be like that and she couldn't be sucked through a straw!
Wonder what her response would be to that!
