Think we've got some explaining to do

>> Saturday, June 21, 2008

These Berenstain Bears keep sparking conversations with my son, 3, that I'm not quite ready to handle yet. The story about the new little sister bear's arrival, with illustrations of the pregnant mama bear, gets him all in a tizzy.

Tonight, the talk went something like this:

"And so mom ate me and I was a seed and I was in mom's stomach and then I grew and grew up big and POPPED out of mom's face and my face came out of her face and I was big and strong and I did that I really POPPED out and, and...."

[Repeats the entire scenario in Thai to my hubby; then again back to me, in English]

Both my husband and I said "uhhhh yeah", and provided no further elaboration.

Not quite sure when to reveal the shocking truth about where, indeed, his face popped out. Poor kid's having a bit of trouble falling asleep this week; would hate at this point to plant an image that might make his head swirl any more than necessary.

I fear his funny little tale will lead to horrific misconceptions on sex and babies like these, at Savage Love.

But, for now at least, it's my cheap entertainment on a Saturday night.

About Phuket

It's pronounced "pooh-ket", not "fuckit".
Its population is roughly 30% Chinese-Thai, 30% Malay Muslim Thai, 30% Buddhist Thai and an assortment of nutjobs and wackos such as myself.
It's a great place to come for holiday, but I'd rather you not because there's enough traffic here already, thank you very much.
It's a long way from Canada.
