    My folks never skipped the technical stuff, they just simplified it way down. So my earliest recollection is still knowing that the boy puts his penis in the girls vagina, and that’s how they become mommies and daddies after 9 months, because that’s how long it takes the baby to grow inside. While it all sounds silly now, sometimes people change their minds after they grow up, because making a baby with someone special and starting a family can be a fun and exciting thing.

    Or something along those lines anyway, I obviously wouldn’t have explained it quite as competently back then. But that’s the gist.
