#017 : Kids say the darndest things!

Sydney Morning Herald, Letters, 30/10/06

"The Christmas holidays are looming and with them, for some of us, comes the responsibility of minding grandchildren.

From bitter experience I suggest it would be prudent for grandparents to have a briefing session with parents before they undertake this task so embarrassing answers to innocent questions can be circumvented.

During the last school holidays I was asked: What is a homosexual? Who is your favourite grandchild? Where does sperm come from? Why do you have more hair in your ears than on your head? Do Catholics, Muslims and Protestants have the same god? Be alert, be very alert." - Paul Hunt, Engadine
