The Big O ...
Jan. 24th, 2007 11:15 pmMy nephew said "Orgasms" the other day.
I was in the kitchen, and he, talking to my Mum, said "Nain, the biology teacher says we are all orgasms."
I remember dropping the sugar spoon.
Of COURSE he meant "organisms." I think his teacher had said something like "Every living thing, including every human being, is an organism."
It was an honest mistake, an old classic howler. Every kid makes it, once.
And we all love my nephew for his innocence even more.
