Jennifer Garner, pregnant with her third child, told Ellen DeGeneres that she’d really be thrilled if the new baby turns out to be another girl.

In an interview that will air on Tuesday, September 27, the actress shared a few humorous tidbits about daughters, Violet, 5, and Seraphina, 2, her children with actor Ben Affleck.

Jen told Ellen, “You know how once you have kids you never ever pee by yourself again? At least one of them is always in there with you at all times. So the other day Violet is in there with me and all of the sudden she went, ‘Oh Mom, we have to have a talk. Your bottom has gotten so big that your panties don’t even begin to cover it.'”

Jen explained, “It’s called a thong, you wear it when you’re a grown up. She was like, ‘Uh, that is so gross!'”

This actress has suffered a number of embarrassing underwear issues in the past, including ripped panties and a prominently displayed plumbers crack.

The kids have also offered up some potential names for the new baby, “Ralphie, Frankie, Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck. Rosemarie…Daisy Duck Affleck. I can see us going that way.”

On the question of gender preference, Jen, one of three sisters herself, appeared to show a little bias, “Obviously we’d be happy either way. It would be so weird to have a boy and cool and different. And I’m sure it would be fun for Ben.. he likes baseball and all that stuff. But a third girl, three girls is a great way to grow up.”
