Kids ask the craziest questions...

Ok so for what ever reason last night we were watching the Voice. Out of the blue Jake age 11 asked..."What's a bris?"... I being the bright and honest father that I am tell him..."It is a Jewish religious circumcision ceremony done by a special person called a mohel."...and I thought that was a good enough answer to shut him up. But no...the fun was just beginning..."What is a circumcision?" was his next question. Oh no...now I have entered into a morass...can't keep my mouth shut and say "I don't know" , Nope...if I am gonna be the engineer of this run away train I gotta make sure it plunges all the way down into the canyon. "Ok Jake...you know how your penis has that helmet thing on the top...well that is not how it normally looks when you are born....When you are born it has some extra skin that makes it look kinda like a sausage. It is kinda hard to keep clean that way so most people have it cut off just after they are born". "WHAT!!!!!!!...you have to cut skin off my peepee! OH...this is gonna make the best lunch table story...I am gonna tell everyone. See if they have theirs cut off too"...that's it...next time..."I don't know...google it!" Then I can just play dumb when I get the call from the school and the other parents.
