A father asks his 10-year-old son

A father asks his 10-year-old son if he knows about the birds and the bees.

I don’t want to know! the child says, bursting into tears.

Promise me you won’t tell me!

Confused, the father asks what’s wrong.

Oh, dad, the boy sobs. When I was six, I got the There’s no Santa speech.

At seven, I got the There’s no Easter Bunny speech.

When I was eight, you hit me with the There’s no tooth fairy speech.

If you’re going to tell me that adults don’t really have make love, I’ll have nothing left to live for.
