Conversation With a 6-Year-Old: Old Fogey Edition

A: B and C and all the other boys at school are making jokes about doing "it".

Me: I'm sure they are. That's what kids at school do.

A: But, do you know what "it" is?

Me: Yes, yes I do.

A: Really?!

Me: Yes, I know what it means to do "it".

[A leaves the room]

[A pokes head into the room some time later]

A: It just means to do with S -- E -- X!

Me: Yes, I know that. People have been calling it "it" since before I was born. Possibly a lot longer than that.

A: Really? Wow.
