This is a ‘must be read’ astonishing two part tale of how one particular young boy became aware of where babies come from. For him that was not straightforward, but a traumatic process illustrated here by two salutary incidents. Interpretation, lies, misinterpretation, part-truths, naivety, and chance are some of the impediments encountered, and here presented in a manner both humorous and serious.
This is about how one may come across knowledge of sex and reproduction when at an early age. And it’s not so much a ‘dark tale’ as a cautionary one. It is ironic and mainly light-hearted in the early part, and a bit more instructive after that. It will be interpreted according to the reader’s own experiences and perspectives, as a mixture of accidental good humor and poignant sadness, and for most readers will be educational throughout.
