My friend's little brother was always interested in girls and wanted to know about sex, but knew he couldn't say it but could spell it out like adults did "bad words" so we told him sex was spelled p-e-r. We asked him what he knew about p-e-r and he told us that first you met a girl and sat down for drinks, then you went upstair and rubbed wee-wees and had a cigarette. (way to much TV) Imagine our suprise when he came home from first grade one day and told us he'd had p-e-r....
