Alex the Lion

This roadha mas was sort of life changing. I've started believing in dragons somewhere during this roadha mas. I have my reasons but I will not bore you with them today. Today I want to share with you something that is just as boring. I want to tell you somethings my little toy Alex said to me.

Alex: hey

me: yes

Alex: I feel funny
me: um ok, may I ask why you are feeling so

Alex: if I knew I would be trying to fix it.

me: ok what do you want from me then?

Alex: I want to know if there are mermaids?

me: you kidding??

Alex:no. I want to know if Ariel is real

me: what if i said she is?

Alex: you would have to prove that she is

me: well i cant do that but i can tell you that there is a possibility

Alex: what good is that?

me: I don't know why you would want to know if there are mermaids...

Alex: can't I quench a curiosity I have. is talking about them taboo??

me: you very well can talk about anything as long as it doesn't offend anyone

Alex: Why would mermaids offend anyone? even if they do, i don't see any reason to why I cant talk about anything I want. If something I talk about offends it's because they don't welcome new ideas.

me: well you could hurt someones feelings

Alex: how is that possible if i talk about mermaids?

me: well a child may believe Ariel is real, by talking about it you might accidentally convince the child that she is not.

Alex: so?

me: damn it... she will lose a something dear to her then, even though it is an idea

Alex: wouldn't I be opening her eyes to reality then?

me: yes, but people want to be happy, even by creating a fabrication of reality.

Alex: I bet she would know if Ariel is real or not eventually, the quicker she learns the better I say.

me: How can I talk to you like this? this is a child we are talking about, would you be so cruel as to shatter her world? how are you even talking?

Alex: beats me....
