Lost in Translation

This morning at the group home, around the breakfast table, while the kids ate their Eggo blueberry waffles, a thirteen-year-old Native boy told me about a safe sex session he went to at his Reserve last week. When asked by the presenter what the best flavour for condoms would be, he stood up in the audience and said, "Chocolate, strawberry and neck bone."


Oh man.
You can't make this stuff up.

In case anyone else is confused, er, lost...


"Neck bone?" I asked.
"You know. Like Caribou, or Elk."
"Oh."
"DELICIOUS," he said.
"Uh huh."

Yeah, I was totally lost! I thought he meant he likes the taste of a woman's neck. But ... the bone?!

Be-zarre!
