And we talk about Ganesha

So mommy let me watch Baal Ganesha today and I was mortified!
An actual conversation between mommy and me.

T: Why did Shiva kill his own son?
Mommy:He didnt know the boy was his son.
T:But even if he didnt know the boy was his son, its never ok to kill other peoples son (and as an afterthought..)and other peoples daughters too.
Mommy:Thats probably true, but I guess he was really angry
T:He should have taken a deep breath like you tell me to..and anyway why couldnt he just wait till his wife finished her bath?
Mommy:(Trying to salvage the situation) Maybe he didnt kill the boy, maybe the head was sliced off but the boy didnt die
T:Well good thing they found a new head, else he would have just bumped into stuff since his eyes would have been on the head on the floor.
Mommy:Yes I agree
T: If Shiva had seen a lion before seeing the elephant, would he have got a lion head?
Mommy:I guess so
T:Good thing he didnt see a giraffe first, because Ganesha would have looked very silly with a long neck huh?
