Is it Time?

I was working at the clubhouse while the kids are playing when Rod sat beside me and asked, "Nanay, pano nabuntis si Fifi when wala man napasok na p&#i$ sa kanya."  Needless to say, I was stupefied.

It was a nice, sunny afternoon thus a lot had gone out to the clubhouse to enjoy the good weather.  A lot of them brought their dogs along and seeing them probably brought about the question.

I acted nonchalant though and asked him if indeed what he said is a prerequisite to getting pregnant and whatever gave him the idea. He said he saw it in the case of Chai-chai which is our neighbor's dog.

The incident made me wonder if the time is right to start talking about the birds and the bees. Hmm...

121 Days!

Last week, Rod (now 9 years old) came to me and just blurted out, "Nanay, 121 days after your wedding, ipinanganak na ako!" (121 days after your wedding, I was born!"

I got tongue-tied, not knowing what to say.  I attempted a feeble, "Not! It was more days than that!" To which he quickly, "Hindi binilang ko!" :P
