Come here Kurado, it's time I had THE TALK with you.

Seven isn't all that bad, if it's handled delicately. The idea is not to make it some sort of crazy forbidden knowlege, but to give the kid enough information so that they think they know, but don't know the really groady parts.

Unfortunately, children are very literal-minded at that age. When I asked my mom why our camera talked, she said there was a little Chinese (why chinese?) girl in there. When she told me gai kow was made out of human flesh, I believed her. Ocassionally she'd threaten to make kitty stew. She was just teasing me, but I believed it - and I don't think I freaked out about any of these things.

So bearing all this in mind, at the tender young age of six years old, my mom told me that mothers and fathers mix and I thought babies sprung from soup.

guess I was hungry that day.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
