A father asked his 10 year old son if he knew about the birds and the bees. "I don't want to know!" the child said, bursting into tears. "Promise me you won't tell me." Confused, the father asked what was wrong.

"Oh Dad," the boy sobbed, "when I was 6, I got the There's-no-Santa speech. At 7, I got the There's-no-Easter-Bunny speech. When I was 8, you hit me with the There's-no-Tooth-Fairy speech. IF you tell me that grown-ups don't really have sex I'll have nothing left to live for."
