Vivian was very pleased with Finnick's arrangement.
She showered him with praises, and the man accepted it all graciously.
"Daddy, Mommy, look. What are the two dogs doing?" Larry noticed two dogs in heat on their way to the airport and asked his parents out of curiosity.
Stumped, Vivian did not know how to answer her child. Helpless, she turned to look at her husband for help in the matter.
"Dogs, like us humans, like Mommy and Daddy, will find someone they love when they reach a certain age, and that's what we do when we fall in love. Larry, you will find your girl, and you will fall in love with her when you grow up."
Finnick thought that it was no need to beat around the bush, and dished it out straight to Larry without stammering.
Larry will know about birds and the bees sooner or later, and it's best that he hears it from us anyway.
After listening to her husband's explanation, Vivian nodded and let him be.
After all, Vivian was confident that Larry would turn out to be someone with great achievement in the future.
Vivian could not help but wonder if she was the only mother thinking so highly of her own child. Do all mothers think the same of their own children?
Soon, the plane took off. Larry knew that it was his second time on a plane.
He had been on a plane when they came back
from A Nation.
The boy enjoyed these rides, thinking that the view out the window was like a giant TV, and the greeneries down below were like candies to his eyes.
"Daddy, Mommy, why do we have to turn off our phones?"
Larry started to ask questions after listening to the stewardess' announcement.
The boy still could not speak when he was on his first ride from A Nation back to Sunshine City. However, now that he had grown up to be a curious little boy, it was normal for him to ask questions.
"Because we don't want the radio interferences of cell phones to affect the navigation system of the plane," Finnick replied Larry with language that he assumed the boy would understand.
Afraid that his son still did not understand, Finnick asked again, "Do you understand what I said?"
