Instead of being moved, I burst out laughing when my child told me their prenatal memories

When my child was born, I thought I'd love to hear about their prenatal memories.
When they were in their first year of preschool, I suddenly remembered and decided to ask in a way that wouldn't lead them with my questions.

I asked them vaguely, "What was it like before you were born and when you were a baby?"

I asked in a very general way.

I think it was a question that was too vague for a child to really understand,

but they just said, "I was watching from above."

When I asked, "Anything else?"

They just said, "I don't know," and that was it.

Just when I had completely forgotten about it, my child started talking about their prenatal memories on their own.

"Before I was born, I looked at you, Mom, on something like a monitor, and I just picked you randomly."

What! Randomly!? Is that even a thing? It's different from the stories I usually hear, but why!? I laughed so hard!

"Yeah! After that, everyone gathered and someone was talking about something, but I wasn't listening at all. As soon as they finished talking, I slid down a slide and arrived first."

Being impatient, or the fact that they weren't listening, is almost exactly the same as they are now, which is just too funny!

"And then, I thought, 'Huh? No one's coming?' but then they came one after another. When I looked closely, everyone was wearing different colored pants. [Child's Name] was still wearing the white pants I had on from the very beginning, and even though everyone else was wearing necklaces or bracelets, [Child's Name] wasn't wearing anything. Because I hadn't listened to the instructions."

No! Listen to the instructions! It was so funny I couldn't stop laughing.

I've heard that children who talk about prenatal memories often decide how they want to be or choose various things, but I wondered if the color of their pants or what they were wearing was something they chose themselves.

Even so, I kept thinking to myself, 'Is it really possible to have nothing on and just be in your starting gear!?'

But when I hear that story, a lot of things make sense, or rather, it's just my child being themselves.
It's not about whether I believe in prenatal memories or not; I just find my child, in their starting gear with only white pants, absolutely adorable.

When I get frustrated and remember this story,
I think, 'Oh! My kid is a white-pants kid!' and my frustration just disappears.

This was our prenatal memory episode that made me decide to love everything about them just as they are.
