Whimsical 7: Facepalms!

The Tiny squealing little Bunny has now grown up.

We were in a video call with the B-I-L in Chennai. BIL was walking on his terrace, thanks to Corona. Ava saw this red light behind him and asked what it was. I replied that it was the planet Mars, and Chennai is heavily infested with corona, because of Mars transmission. Without a thought, he retorts, "There are no life in Mars, how can corona transmit from Mars"

Just like our curious minds, Ava wants to explore the taste of tears and nasal excretion (yuck!). I explain him in a very child-friendly way: 'Look Ava, nothing that goes out of the body should be taken in. That is something your body has found inappropriate for itself, and is sending them out. We should not put it back. Just think of how well God has created us the way we are. Our eyes and nose and mouth and ears, and all parts that have some cavity, are such that the excretions flow down, pulled by gravity. Just imagine having your nose and/or eyes on top of your head - all your excretions will flow into your head itself, like a spring, isn't it? Isn't that amazing how God created us?!". After this discussion, he had a nap. As soon as he woke up, he asked me very randomly: "Amma, cappibara and Hippopotamus has their nose on top of the head. Atleast the hippo has its head pointing downwards, how about Cappibara?" 

Facepalm!
