Back story: We are watching the view this morning waiting for Jaleel White to come on. So Sara Ramirez from Grey Anatomy talking about her character Calli's sexuality and mentions that if a label has to be put on it...the character is bi-sexual.
The Diva: Dad...(thank goodness is wasn't me this time) Dad what does bi-sexual mean?
DH (insert your choice of d word here then husband): Huh?
The Diva: What does bisexual mean? (she looks at me)
DH: Am I really supposed to answer that?
Me: yep...she asked you I'm off the hook...tag you're it.
(the diva realizes she has us trapped but she's not sure what to do with the information)
The Diva: Is this one of those hard questions again..
(I can see she is getting fed up with our unpreparedness- I'm getting sighs and rolling eyes)
DH: Do you really want me to answer you. I can ya know.
The Diva: No dad... (she falls back in the chair exasperated)
Me: Seriously honey it's okay for you to know what that term means.
The Diva: No that's ok
Me: Why?
The Diva:Just cause..
Me: Cause what?...(ummm maybe I'm on to something there aarrre 2 of us in the room)...you don't want to know or do you think you are not old enough to know.
The Diva: No
Me: No what? you don't want to know or you don't think you are old enough to know (I think I have her on the ropes she is looking uncomfortable)
(DH is suspiciously quite and looking at me out of the corner of his eyes)
The Diva: No
Me: Ok you are confusing me what part of question are you answering?
The Diva: The part you asked
(Do I see a hint of teenager peeking out)
Me: excuse me?
The Diva: Mom I'm just answering your question
Me: Oh so let me get this straight (I'm stepping lightly here) you think you not old enough to know yet.
The Diva: Nooo mooommm
Me: Well honey if you want to know when you get older we can talk about ok (I have the biggest smirk on my face - I think I may have won this round- she's embarrassed)
The Diva: Mom are you going to laugh at me now?
Me: Of course not but I will chuckle a bit.
Orlando and Renee against a ten years old Diva?. This round goes to Orlando and Renee! The Diva didn't respond after taking a count of ten by the Referee. Ha Ha, more!!!
