Last Sunday on the way back from church, all five of us sort of drifted off into silence and inward thoughts. After a few minutes my son asked my husband, and I, a question...
7yro son: "What's a Virginian?"
Me: "A Virginian? Where from? From our history?"
7yro son: "No, from the Bible."
Me: "There are no Virginians in the Bible!" (after a moment, light goes on in mama's head. Ohhhhh, virginian!)
Me: "You mean virgin. That is someone who has not had lovin' like from their husband or wife, yet. A Virginian is someone from Virginia, like George Washington and I think Thomas Jefferson."
Husband: "Or something from Virginia."
7yro son: (unconvinced that there are no Virginians in scripture, he stares out van window)
LOL! That is so funny. I'm going to link to this on my Friday Funnies post. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I just love those kinds of conversations!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy day!
One day my son started asking me questions about Virginias. I had trouble figuring out what he was talking about. It took a few questions before I realized that he was talking about the female anatomy. We had recently talked about the correct name for male and female parts and he thought it was a Virginia.
ReplyDeleteThanks for Commenting on my blog! I've added you to my friends list too.
ReplyDeleteMy 7 yo is of superior intelligence as well. When I tell her something she has to see it with her own eyes to believe silly mom. I just love to answer a question and be told I'm wrong! I loved the chicken story - I still have memories of a similar experience and I am still mostly vegetarian :)
ReplyDeleteThat is quite funny! Thanks for visiting my blog awhile back. Sorry I didn't pop over sooner to say hi! So you had a good diversion tactic for not having to explain anymore about marital relations :)
ReplyDeleteDid it work? I'm horrified about whenever those topics will come up with my children!
