Animals and Sex

This is such a funny story one of my friends from work told me. Her son (age 5) will be in a Christmas play at their church. They were having dinner the other night and she was asking him if he had remembered his lines. He very confidently says, "Yeah." When she asks him to say them he says, "Animals and sex."

Her and her husband's jaw dropped as they looked at each other for confirmation on what they just heard. The play is done to the music of "The Twelve Days of Christmas," their son's day: Day Three. Now count backwards from 12 and point to a little boy on the third day who very sweetly says, "Animals and Sex." See the dilemma, and the humor?

After she composed herself, and wiped the smile from her face, she asks again, "Now what are your lines?" This time he says, "Animals, insects, and people."

He had left off the 'and people' part before. Let's hope he doesn't forget that part at the play!
