Birds and Bees

[Mughal]

"Birds and Bees"

A father asks his 10-year-old son if he knows
about the birds and the bees.

"I don't want to know!" the child says, bursting
into tears.

"Promise me you won't tell me!"

Confused, the father asks what's wrong.

"Oh, dad," the boy sobs.

"When I was six, I got the 'There's no Santa
speech.'

"At seven, I got the 'There's no Easter Bunny'
speech.'

"When I was eight, you hit me with the '
There's no tooth fairy' speech.

"If you're going to tell me that grown ups don't
really get la*d, I'll have nothing left to live for."
