It was a quiet evening at home and everything looked normal – until Johnny asked the question that completely changed the mood.
The conversation began sufficiently innocent but quickly spiraled into an unpleasant moment that no one could predict. What started as a simple question soon led to a number of events that left everyone in shock. If you think children will only ask for toys or school, think again – this question would make someone stop. Here is how it all developed.
One day little Johnny asked his father, “Dad, why do adults like to practice in bed?”
His wife, who was cooking dinner at that time, heard an interview and couldn’t help but listen, wondering how her husband reacted.
Father: “It makes adults happy, Johnny.”
Johnny: “I want to be happy too.”
Father: “You have to wait for you to adult.”
Johnny: “But who will practice with me when I grow up?”
Father: “Hopefully if you’re married your wife will be.”
Johnny: “But Dad, why does our neighbor, Sally practice with you?”
The wife, who heard it, was hocked from the kitchen and ten minutes later an ambulance arrived.
The inconvenience of that moment left her father without a word, while Johnny’s innocent questions unintentionally caused quite a stir. My wife, now in complete shock, did not know how to react and escalated the situation quickly. It is a good reminder that sometimes the simplest questions from children can lead to the most anticipated and sometimes cheerful consequences. In the end, my father and son learned that it was important to carefully answer the questions, while the wife now had a story she had never forgotten.
