According to Beau: Brain Attack

Photo by mohamad taheri on Unsplash

My son, Beau, shares nuggets of sage wisdom he has accumulated throughout his lifetime…of five years.

Scene: Driving to a doctor’s appointment when Beau opens up about his birthplace and the origins of a headache.

BEAU: Mom, I’m having a brain attack.

ME: A…a headache? Does your head hurt?

BEAU: Yes, a brain attack. I can’t think.

ME: Who is attacking your brain?

BEAU: Tiny men and they just ram into my brain. You need a microscope to see them.

ME: Let’s eat and drink some water.

BEAU: How do you say brain attack in Chinese?

ME: Son, I don’t speak Chinese. I have no idea.

BEAU: I need to learn how to say it in Chinese.

ME: Why?

BEAU: So I can say it when I go back home. You got me from China the day after yesterday.

ME: That would be today, and I didn’t get you from China.

BEAU: *crying* You forgot to pick me up from China!!!

Although I’m certain it is a lovely country, we have never been, nor do we have plans, to go to China.
