Cannibalism

Creighton and I were watching 'Nova' on PBS last night and the show was about some guys who tried to sail through the Arctic Passage. They talked on the show about how scientists believe the men had to resort to cannibalism for food before they died. Creighton asked me what cannibalism means, so I had to explain...

This conversation is following only about 2 weeks after having to help him sound out the word 'sexual' in the Bible verse he was reading. We don't need public schools to teach our kids all of the finer things in life...we've got it covered! ;)

I explained what cannibalism was and here's how the conversation went from there:
C: YUCK!!
M: Yeah, I know. It's disgusting.
C: I think Dad would like it.
M: (laughing) Oh yeah? I don't think so...that's pretty disgusting.
C: Oh yeah, Dad would like it. Dad likes anything!

So, we'll see who my kids tell that their dad like cannibalism. What next...? =)

LOL how funny!

I read a joke in a Nicholas Sparks book last night about cannibalism...A comedian was being eaten by two cannibalists, one looked at the other and said, "Does this taste funny to you?" LOL I got a kick out of it!
