Rapids?

We were preparing to go to Pagsanjan Falls in Laguna. And as I always do before a trip, I would start to incorporate lessons like teaching them about waterfalls, telling them we are going to ride a banca upstream, about the safety precautions and so on…

I realized my 5-year-old son did not get the lesson when…

Me : (Sounding excited) Well, now, are you prepared to shoot the rapids?

Son : I don’t want to go to the Waterfalls anymore.

Me : (Incredulous) WHY?!

Son : (Sounding very unhappy indeed) Because I don’t want to shoot the rabbits.
They’re so cute and cuddly… Why are we going to shoot them?...
