One day, my husband came inside the house with bare chest after he finished mowing the lawn. My three year old daugher lifted his arm and said: " Daddy, you grow beard under your arm."
I asked her with a straight face: " Where do you grow your beard?"
She turned her head and swished her hair from side to side, said:" Can't you see? I grow my beard on top of my head."
Her daddy grabbed her and said:" Let's shave your beard off."
She pushed him away, and said" No way, I will grow my beard into a pony tail."
Truth about death
One day, my four year old daughter and I found a dead dear killed by traffic at the roadside. We called to have the dear picked up. She asked what happened to the dear and asked many questions. I tried my best to explain what happens to a creature when it dies, the life-death cycle, how every plant and animals are connected, etc. While I was quite satisfied with my scientic explaination, she turned to me with a face full of worry and said:" Are you going to die?" I assured her that will not happen in a long time. She did not hear me, tears were coming out, said:" you can not die, you can not die". I promised to her: " It will not happen until my hair turns gray, my face is full of wrinkles." For the next two weeks, everyday she checked my hair for gray and my face for wrinkles. I told her my wrinkles will set into my face slower if she put kisses on my face. So I got extra amount of kisses from her.
A few months later, her grandmother came to vist. She sat on her lap and chatted with grandma. She asked:" Are you going to die?" Her grandma was surprised and said:" This will not happen for a while, I hope." She said:" When you die, I will be very sad and miss you so much." Her Grandma gave her a big hug. She placed many kisses on her face and said: " Now your wrinkles will grow slower."
Later during our small talk, I told her she should ask those questiones because those questiones make people sad. She asked:" Are they afraid of dying?" Then I had her promise not to ask people that quesiones either.
