[I found this floating around on my hard drive, dated 11 Feb 01, and remembered I'd meant to put it in the diary for safekeeping.] Felony: All right, Mom, here is a tough question. How do mermaids have babies? Me: No such thing as mermaids. Felony: There's not? Me: No. Felony: But how do they have babies? Me: Anyway you want. You can just imagine a way. They probably lay eggs, like fish. Felony: I think the babies just pop out of their bellies. Me: I think they lay eggs, like fish, because they have a fish body. Felony: But they don't have a hole, for the eggs to come out. Me: They might have a hole. Fish have a hole, to lay eggs. Felony: But I never saw a hole on a mermaid. Me: Maybe it's really small. But fish do have a hole, even though it's hard to see. Felony: Well ... what if you had a kaleidoscope? Me: You mean a microscope? Felony: Yeah. Me: That would work. prev archive next 0 comments random |
