The King and I

Me: "Ok little dude, so you know Mommy has a new baby in her belly, right?"

Sippy Cup: "Yep.  My little sister."

Me: "Right! Right! That's right."

Sippy Cup: "She's going to be so cute."

Me: "I think so too.  So, you know you have some new jobs now, right?"

Sippy Cup: "Yep.  I protect Mommy.  I love Mommy.  I protect the baby.  I love the baby."

Me: "Awesome.  You're so smart."

Sippy Cup: "Thanks Dad."

Me: "I want you to know something really important though:

even though she's going to be our little princess you'll always be..."

Sippy Cup (interrupting): "I know Dad, I know."

Me: "Oh really?"

Sippy Cup: "Yep.  I'll always be the king!"

Me (sighing): "I'm glad you're taking this in stride."

Sippy Cup (playing an imaginary trumpet): "HERE COMES THE KING!"
