"When I was in nursery school, the teachers asked me, y'know, 'What does your dad do for a living?' So I said 'He helps women get pregnant!' They called my mom and they were like, 'What exactly does your husband do?'"

Natalie Portman's quote is a humorous anecdote about her youth. When she was in nursery school, the instructors asked her what her father provided for a living. She innocently responded that he assisted females get pregnant. The instructors were so amazed by her answer that they called her mom to ask what her other half did for a living. This anecdote shows how children can be naive and innocent, and how adults can be taken aback by their reactions. It likewise shows how Natalie Portman has a terrific funny bone and can laugh at herself. Her quote is a reminder to grownups to not take themselves too seriously and to enjoy the innocence of children.
