Bear Testicles

The following is a conversation that happened between my son and me.


Alex - "Mom, does dad have any guns?"

Me - "No, we don't really like the idea of having guns around."

Alex - "But what if a bear attacks?"

Me - "I think we should just try to stay away from the bears."

Alex - "But what if one attacks anyway?"

Me - "Well, if a bear is attacking, it's probably a mama bear trying to protect her cubs so if we shoot her and kill her then the babies would die."

Alex (after a pause for thought) - "Mom, what do bear testicles look like?"

  1. Something familiar about that conversation... ;)

    And I suppose you googled some images of bear testicles to answer his question, right??

  2. HAH, actually I answered him with, "A lot like yours only bigger and hairier." That was the immediate impulse comment I made.
