Can I Help You Draw?

I laid on my bed to rest, and Greg joined me yesterday evening. Suddenly, Greg witnessed my tummy move vigorously and he quickly flipped open my shirt.
Greg: Mummy, your tummy is moving..see..
Me: Ya.. Didi is moving inside.
Greg: Ooohh... Mummy, why is there a brown line on your tummy? (pointing to the linea nigra)
Me: When you/ Didi are inside Mummy's tummy, Mummy will have this line.. (trying to explain that it's part of pregnancy)
Greg: Did Daddy draw the line? ...Why did Daddy draw the line Mummy?
Before I could explain..
Greg: Because your tummy moves and it's painful?? Mummy, is your tummy still painful? I help you draw another line can?
Me: ???
Then Greg ran off and came back to me with a brown colour pencil..
Greg: Or Mummy, I help you draw circles on your tummy since your tummy is so round?..

Inside my heart, I went "Oh no!". I explained to Greg one more time but I doubt he has understood what I was trying to tell him. Anyway, knowing that I disallowed him to doodle on my tummy, he ran off to ask Yanti if he could doodle on her hands... Aiyo!
