We are not a dealership

This morning Kari asked, "Mommy, how old will I be when we have a new baby?" (I'm not sure whether she just really wants another sibling or whether she's heard us discussing the possibility, but we're NOT expecting at the moment.)

Me: "Do you think we should have a new baby?"
Kari: "Yes!"
Joel: "NO!!!"
Kind of surprised by his adamant "no" and curious, I asked, "Why not, Joel?"
"Because I want to keep Aubrey!"

Apparently, "new" meant "different" in his little three-year-old mind. No wonder he was upset. His mother had just asked whether we should trade in his sister for a new model.
