Mommy decided its time to introduce me to our great mythology and of course like most other plans, this one has come right back to bite her in the ..er..tushy
So I read a kids version of the book yesterday and as always have a truck load of questions for mommy to answer
"Why did Rama leave Sita in the forest?..After he had fought so hard for her and after he had burnt an entire city down? It doesnt even make sense!!"
"So when Sita got swallowed by the earth, did she get smushed by all that dirt around her? And once she got swallowed, where exactly did she go???"
"Also, Dashrath had THREE wives???? Is that allowed? How is it that we do not know people with three wives?????""I do know someone with 2 mommies tho'..remember Krishna has 2 mommies."
"I feel sad that Rama didnt get to see his kids as babies..but then its his own fault. He left their mommy in the forest. But I feel sad the babies didnt have a daddy..and it wasnt their fault"
Oh and when mommy asked me what I had understood from the whole story
"Laxman fainted twice in the story"-THAT was my main takeaway from the great epic!!!!!
