Watermelon

What are watermelons tastes like??

by David

"You know...the watermelon's taste turns in our taste"

"How come?"

"Well...it tastes like us: mom, dad, David"

Birds are not the only ones that have eggs...

Why do they call it "egg" if doesn't belong to a bird???

by David

David doesn't quite like fairytales...he loves real facts.

So, everytime we go a library he wants an encyclopedia, or a book about space, oceans, anatomy...

And there we were...

"Mom, where do babies come from??? (and just to make sure he's gonna get the truth) I know that they stay a while inside mommies bellies, but how do they get there??"

And, when you come to a question like that, the best thing you can do for a 5-year old is to tell him the real truth seen from the inside of the body, so he'll learn what's all about from the gynecologist's point of view, but not from the "under the sheets" point of view...(if you know what i mean)

So...we bought a book about anatomy, and we read about the woman's egg and the man's sperm...and so on (you know the story)...

He seemed that he understood...so we can relax for a while...

But...

"Mom...why do woman have eggs like birds. Is it a real egg???"

"This is what they called it, because it does the same thing that birds egg does" (that was the best explanation i came with)

"Yes, but why?? Do women lay eggs too?"

"Well....no..." (i stoped there lack of inspiration and knowledge)

After a few days we visited a friend who is pregnant ,and after he explained with lots of details how the baby got inside her, he asked very politely:

"Ana, when your baby is going to hatch???"

Not a very good day to be near a volcano on a stormy day

Today's drawing...

by David

"There was a man who went to see a volcano for real...He tried to climb the top of the vulcano...but...he died...."

(me)"How he died? The volcano erupted???"

(David) "Oh, yes...the volcano erupted, it was lava everywhere...but he died struck by a lightning!!!!"

Count to infinity

So, he is 5...no more...no less...
And he thinks he can count to infinity and more than that!!!!

"You know, mamy, my teacher says that you can count up to infinity....which is the last number...but I've been thinking...and I can count more than that"
"Oh yeah???, can you show me???
"Easy"
"Infinity-one, infinity-two and so on!!!!!!"
