AWKWARD: Oh Boy...

Kids can be conversationally trippy

Kids have an abundant of natural crazy energies. I can't help admire their bubbliness, their motor mouth and trippy imaginations. But sometimes you get the odd one who looks like a mini man, and have odd inquisitions - like for instance, Mister Ryan.

Ryan is possibly thigh high and is super duper sure that he's four (when showing me 3 fingers). I met him at the new found friend's home. He invited me inside the home, like a gentlemen (shrunken version).

He reminded me that long time a go way back in Vietnam that made a strict rule; to take your shoes off in a Vietnamese house (or mum will spank you because you'll bring doggie brown smelly stuff into the house from your shoe).

The 4-year-old then totted off, returning with plush toys, balls, his brother's fluffy handcuffs and asking if I wanted to play.

I declined, continued with my adult to child condescending ways of communication.

"Oh no, did you ask your brother permission to borrow that, err..."

"So you got a boyfriend?", the kid interjected.

"What?", I choked.

Here we have a kid, 22 years my junior, flapping his eyes at me. Awkward. He burst into shrilled giggles.

"You look very pretty", he continued.

I lay my guard down a bit. Mister moved his face closer to mine in examination. He point to my lip.

"But you got a moustache..." , he added, this time quite serious.

I looked around in discomfort, and checking my peripherals that no one heard such thing.

"So you got a girlfriend?", he continued

Kids have weird and awkward points of focus....
