Amma, I'm gay!

Sanj, my 7 year old cuddled-up to me, gave me a hug and said, "Amma, I love you. I'm gay."

FLASHBACK.......

Every show we had been watching on TV had reference to homosexuality and everytime someone said "gay", the gals would ask me what that meant. For over 2 years, I explained it as "happy". A few months ago, my almost 9 year old wouldn't take "happy" for an answer.
She insisted.
I cringed and gave in.
I kept it as "high-level" as I could and muttered something about "when men like men and women like women....."

I owe the above statement by Sanj to my explanation.
(POP!!.. that was another gay..oops grey hair!)
