Gideon: You could make another baby.
(This is where I begin to panic-but I play it cool.)
Mom: God's the one who makes babies.
Gideon: Make a robot baby.
Mom: You go make a robot baby.
Gideon: I don't know how.
Mom: I don't either.
(At this point, Gideon decides he's Robocop and shows me the gun built into his leg. Whew!)
