At the dining table over dinner today, the song “Bang Bang” by Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj was played on the radio. The girls sang along as they ate dinner.
Alycia – mummy, do you know what “bang bang” means actually?
Me (acting dumb) – yeah… bang bang with a gun like this *and pointing my hand like a gun towards Alycia*
Alycia – NO-O, it’s not that kind of bang bang! You know… thaaat bang bang?
Me – what kind of bang bang? *Question – should I stop acting dumb and explain the birds and bees to her?*
Ok, I should!!
Me – OH… you mean thaaat bang bang? Of course I know what it is!
Alycia – so err, you and daddy bang bang?
Me – OF COURSE! How do you think you, Sherilyn and Cass came into this world? Dropped from heaven just like that?
Alycia – you and daddy bang bang? OMG, that’s so dissssgussssting!!
Me – no, that’s not disgusting!
Alycia – luckily I did not bump into you and daddy banging on those nights that I woke up to pee.. HEE HEE!
Me – you think we would be so dumb to bang bang with the door opened? And when our door is closed, don’t you bang on the door to see if we are banging ok… coz we will not open the door for you!
Alycia, Sherilyn and Cass – HA HA HA!!
(Alycia has a habit of knocking on our door just as hubs and I have turned off the bedroom light to sleep. She then walks into the room in the pretext of taking the hand lotion and peers at me who is on the bed, suspiciously and in the hope of seeing ‘something’, LOL! Oh well, she’s at this stage where she’s just curious about the birds and bees)
Alycia – err, by the way, I finally found out what a CONDOM is! You know, at first I thought a condom was some kind of birds. But I recently read about condoms being banned in some schools in the US. SO… daddy wears a condom when he bang bang eh?
Me – OH yes! We baaaaaang all the way with it so that you won’t get another naughty younger sister or brother to bother you!!
And then the girls broke into a loud guffaw! 😀
I love having dinners at home together. It’s the time when the girls and I talk and laugh about everything and anything. It’s also the time when Alycia (she can be quite a hard nut to crack) is in a jovial mood and I take this opportunity to give her pep talks, advice and knock sense into her head.
