Madonna’s Like AVirgin comes on the radio. We are driving home from school, just the boys and I
Neil: Mum What does virgin mean
Me: Look out the window, is that a firetruck, lowers the volume.
Neil, its gone now, what does it mean?
Me: It means someone who doesnt have babies yet
Neil: Are you a virgin?
Me: Nope, I have 4 babies right?
Neil: Right, so am I a virgin?
Me: yes Neil, you are a virgin.
Neil: What about Ashwina.
Me: Neil, what did you do in school after daddy picked you up? What did Mrs D do in circle time?
Neil: Oh we did this and that
Thank god, he didnt question me further on that. What would you answered? I havent told NK about this yet but I know what he is going to say. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO WHEN THE KIDS ARE IN THE VAN.

One who has a sun sign of Virgo? A non-alcoholic drink? Virgin mother Mary?
Me: Oh The sun sign is good.. They know Jesus so next time I will say his mom.. rofl
lol at the last sentence !
Hmmm…I get confused too when they suddenly bring up these questions. I mean can’t these kids give a list of questions to us the night before so that we are prepared to answer it during the day
I would have said the same, I think.
Me: I know.. I am singing the song, driving, thinking of twenty thousand other things when all of sudden, he throw this question at me. And it almost always me who gets the crazy questions.
I like your answer, I’ll go with that.
Hi…
That was hilarious !! BTW virgin also has a simple meaning ‘untouched’… for eg a virgin forest… Try answering this next time that question surfaces . But my guess is you will be hit with harder questions in future
Me: Its my filthy mind that always thinks the filthy thing instead of the normal thing. Like sex, I can explain it means the gender of the person right… but no… sex to me is SEX!
haha great answer. I couldn’t have thought of anything as good.
hilarious.
Hahahahahahahahah, Smart answer you managed !!!!
Me:Some good ones.
Hey this was bound to happen and I’ve heard that it usually happens like this randomly, apparently kids feel safer to ask you when you’re doing other things together – it almost never happens sitting at home peacefully.
Didn’t Ashwina ever ask you these questions? Wow!
Me: Ashwina…. she did.. I think I blocked them out.
I think what I should do is keep all the answers ready – but no one can ever be prepared.. !
Me: Yeah I should have said the olive oil thing but didnt.. oh well..
A person who’s not married?! So politically incorrect and factually gross error…but hey…if it gets me out of a tight spot…:)
rofl. really sorry but this cracked me up big time. go neil!
(mental note to avoid the Madonna)
You did the best with that
Kid:Mom, what does gay mean?
Me:Another word for happy
Kid: hmm. what else?
Me: umm..er..when a girl marries a girl or boy marries a ok
Kid: Yeah, thats what I thought (!!!)
Kid: Mom, what is sex
Me: It defines your gender
Kid: Isnt there another meaning?
Me: umm..er…you know how men and women are different from each other. There is a certain reaction to each other after a certain age.
Kid: Yeah, that sounds more right (!!!)
Me: I cannot teach you better than what your school will tell in 6th grade just like you say your teacher teaches math better than me (;)) So ask you teacher after a few years when you are in 6th
Kid: Why are we talking about Math now?
*Relieved grin*
Neil: What is a virgin?
You: Spell the word. What letter makes the vuh sound?
Neil: Hmm…V?
You: great. Now uh
Neil: Mamma look firetruck!
Me: Okay you need to start blogging. This is funny stuff!!! Next time, I am going to use the spelling tactic.
oops! meant to say “….boy marries a boy, ok?”
I liked your answer though. You could have said pure as in Virgin olive oil
The other connotations could be left unsaid!
Me: See this is something I should have said but which I can never think of.
I agree with smiles. First thing that crossed my mind was also ‘untouched’. But may be your answer was better than this because, ‘untouched’ might provoke more questions like ‘how does it relate to this song?’. That would be more awkward.
Hahahaha! You handled that well dear!
OMG – your neil and my raf would have a great time together. he would have said the EXACT same thing.
Me: Can you imagine what sort of questions they will come up with together? *shudders*
Hahaha!!
BTW, LOVE the pic of Avasha.
Me: It has become one of my fav as well.
Oh boy! they really put us in quandary. Don’t they?
Your daughter in the header is really pretty. *touchwood*
Me: Thanks Sol. She is!!
hahaha…that was quite a tuff one and funny. i wonder what i would have said…hmm mebbe i would have talked about olive oil…but i like anamika’s idea. (stores it in her mind somewhere
HAHAHA!!!! I can totally see NK saying that! They really say the darnedest things!
Lolz..this is a test of your creativity..like my mother told me babies are made when mums ate a special kinda fish!!!!!!!!!
Or this friend of mine who asked what “condom” was after seeing an ad.Her mum said it was a famous book(!!!) and every body knows about it, so she better not ask anyone else or they would think how dumb she is.
Talk about quick thinking.
Me: We have to be very fast thinkers to come up with creative answers…
but SEX isnt filthy
is it?
Me: wink wink
oh..sorry for eating up the space. will keep my replies short next time.
Me: I sent you an email. I didnt mean that your comment was long, I meant it that you write such funny comments that you NEED a blog. Come on, you know bloggers love loooong comments..:)
