I won't eat eel, Ohma. When I was a little girl I was out looking for some food. In Thailand, there no foodstamps... you have to go get you food. Two men were fishing with a net, you know, one push the fish to the other and they catch in net and empty it out. The man pushing fish he grab eel... Electric eel, Ohma! He (bzzz bzzz bzzz) I feel so bad, Ohma... I cry.
Did he die? No, but I never eat eel. I don't like anything like that. No snake either. Oct 2014 Photo from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Electric_eel_CAS.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported
I don't eat frogs either, Ohma. You know why? 'Cause when you kill them you have to hit them in the head. When you hit them, Ohma, they screeeeam... like a little kid. My mom, she kill those frogs, Ohma, and I cry, and cry. I'm just a little girl, like 4 and my mom, she bonk me on the head and ask me why I cry. I say "Don't you feel sorry for them?" She say, "No, I'm hungry."
My mom make me go get frog from market, and they wrap a string around the stomach and you carry it home that way, like a purse, Ohma. I drop it with my mom and then I go away. I never eat it, Ohma. But one day, I decided I was going to eat one. So I went to the market and carried frog home and I hit it, Ohma. It scream and scream. You know what happen? I let it go. Haha. When I have to go get fish my mom say, "Buy the live one." I make the market kill it so I don't have to watch my mom do it at home or I never eat, Ohma, never. Good thing I never watch cow or pig killed. I be little tiny, skinny thing. Oct 2014 Mom says this picture is accurate.

About PetraPetra is Ohma's mom. They're very close and often have quite candid conversations. The name "Petra" was born when Ohma's mom needed a pseudonym for Ohma's radio show. She decided on "Petra the Sex Expert."
