"Mama lions have no hair"

Christian asked me to take the car instead of the private bus to work two mornings ago..and so I did. I sat right next to him and used the precious minutes in the car to go through the Eric Carle book on animal and the sounds they make (which he borrowed on his last visit to the library by the school).
for some reason i can't remember now, I was hamming it up and showed him how a lion's mane makes it look bigger, by lifting most of my hair in a gravity-defying look. He was tickled but said

'are you mama lion?'

me: 'yes!'

Ch: 'u r mama lion?? but mama lions don't have hair..'

It took me a few seconds to understand but I realized he was right..lionesses do not have manes. I clapped my hands over my mouth and exclaimed 'you are right! I forgot! who taught you that??'

Ch: teacher dxxx

(P says it seems like we can rest assured and hand over our son's education to teacher Dxxx now.)
