L'enfant

~~~
A un petit citadin qui découvre la campagne, une fermière explique:
'Tu vois, là, le coq, c'est le papa. La poule, c'est maman. Les poussins, ce sont leurs bébés.'
'Et celle-là, fait le gamin, en désignant une oie, c'est leur femme de ménage?'
~~~
I picked it from a book that has been long neglected by me.
Finds it amazingly humorous for the first time reading it.
As I read again after some time, I finds it sarcastic somehow.

Summary:
A city kiddo came to a countryside, said to a woman that,
The cock is the father, the hen is the mother, and the chicks are their babies.
He pointed to a goose and asked if that's their maid...? @@"

Are you laughing now?
Do you finds it funny?
Or, you don't feel anything at all...?

If the words aren't from a child...
But, how naive and innocent of a child could be now?
In the current society we living in...

Could we be too frank to people around us?
How would one accepts people that are straight forward?
As we age, we learned that, it is complicated...LOL

Words can hurt, words can even kill.
We are either too careful or care less in words we using each and every day.
Probably, living in a world of lies and disguise..

Anyhow, I wonder how the woman gonna response to that kid?
Is she going to say yeah? Or, just laugh it off..?
Or, is that even a real story?

How would YOU gonna response to that kid?
