That’s not the “Kool-aid” man, it’s the “Hawaiian Punch” guy! His approach for selling colored sugar water tended toward assault and battery rather than wanton destruction of property.

Me too. One couple’s way of teaching the kids about the birds n the bees?
I have no idea what that family had in mind at the time but I’m 99% sure this photo inspired one scene in Brüno.

My daughter asked me (Dad) when she was about six. We were sat on my bed chatting and she just wondered out loud. I answered her straight and in a chatty way and, apart from her thinking I was winding her up, it all went fine.
Now that was education about human reproduction. Sex education is something different.

No, it definitely wasn’t that. It’s just that as far back as I can remember (four or so), I’ve had a reasonably complete and matter-of-fact understanding of the process. I do remember my mom had purchased the Dutton Series on Sex Education for her first batch of kids back in the late 1950s, and I read those cover-to-cover when I found them, looking to glean some new info. And she also purchased a much more modern series for my sister Lisa and me in the late 1970s, which I remember being much more frank and informative.
But I was the kid doling out the sex facts on the elementary school playground to any kid who asked, but for the life of me I can’t remember if I learned it through conversation or just from reading those Dutton books when I learned to climb to the top shelf of the bookcase.
