difficult questions

Lately I quite often find myself pondering how I would answer questions about life as posed by a child. Mostly in the morning while shaving, getting dressed and similar. I don’t particularly want to dwell on why this is – I am fairly certain I’m not broody – does anyone else do it?

Anyway, this morning I imagined myself fielding the dreaded “what is sex?” question from some precocious 9-year-old.

Some of my favourites:

“Sex is when daddy and mummy lock the door and do terrible things to each other.”

“It’s a very dangerous contact sport that you can’t play until you’re older.”

“Well, when a man and a woman… or two men, or two women, or sometimes a mixed group of more than two people… you know what? You should ask someone else.”

Post your own in the comments – let’s see what kind of therapy bills we’d have to pay if we ever reproduced~

How Does a Conversation Begin "People at the Circus Hide Their Nipples"?

The phrase “three nipple monte” will be forever burned in my brain

Son #1: People at the circus hide their nipples.
Son #2: What about the three-nippled man?
Son #1: He shows his one at a time.
Son #2: So how can you be sure he isn’t playing three nipple Monte?
