Kids are terrific.
When my grandson was two, I asked him what he wanted for Christmas.
He told me lingerie.
I asked do you know it's women's things?
Yes.
I told his dad when he came in.
He said that's nothing, he wants me to draw pictures of naked women.
Oh my gosh, where did he learn that?
Nobody knew.
