[Immediately on the heels of this conversation, Ven gets to pose his question to a roving Cambot.]

What's sex? Terra and Aqua don't want to tell me.

Not. For. CHILDREN.

Honestly, what is wrong with some people here...

[salvagedlight]

...What? What'd I do? [LOOK AT THAT FACE, SAM! IT IS SO INNOCENT! HOW COULD YOU SUSPECT HIM OF EVIL INTENT!]

[youreallweirdos]

Nothing! And nothing is a good thing to do in this situation. Hmph!

[salvagedlight]

Uhhhmm... okayyyy?

[youreallweirdos]

Good! Ask again when you're eighteen.

Or better yet, twenty-five. Or just don't ask at all. Yes, we'll go with not asking at all.

[salvagedlight]

But if I don't ask I'm not going to learn.

[...Trying to bring logic into this won't help, Ven.]

[youreallweirdos]

All. The better.

[salvagedlight]

Why? I want to learn, what's so bad about knowing stuff?

[youreallweirdos]

Because there are some things in this world that are better off being un-learnt!

[salvagedlight]

Then why does everyone keep talking about this one?

[youreallweirdos]

Because they are weirdos.

[salvagedlight]

...There's something wrong with that?

[He befriended a mutated blue space creature that only spoke pigdin English. His scale is not your scale, Sam.]

[youreallweirdos]

Yes. Often.

[That's because Sam's scale is reeeeeally narrow.]

[salvagedlight]

[Apparently so.]

But a lot of things people think are weird really aren't. They just don't know enough about them yet.

[youreallweirdos]

Hmph!

[dadandgone]

Sam. That's not how you're supposed to handle these things. The kid is curious and needs to know.

[youreallweirdos]

No! He does not! There are many subjects that children should be learning about. And this! Is not one of them.

[dadandgone]

He's 15, Sam. I'm pretty sure most teenagers know about this topic to some degree by the time they are 15. It's just troublesome if they don't.

[youreallweirdos]

[Have a long, sloooooooow jawdrop from Sam.]

That. Is appalling!

[dadandgone]

[sigh]

It's better to know and be safe than not know and do something stupid.

[youreallweirdos]

It's best of all to simply not do anything stupid!

[dadandgone]

And how do you expect a teenage boy NOT to do something stupid if he doesn't know what he's in for?

[youreallweirdos]

[Good question. If Sam knew the answer to that, he would have implemented it everywhere a long time ago.]

I would expect him to have some good parenting. And possibly a curfew in place.

[dadandgone]

[Sigh]

Well, from what I gathered he doesn't exactly have parents. So that's half the problem I think.

[youreallweirdos]

[Sam gasps!]

No. Parents?! Oh! This is a tragedy! No wonder there are so many problems to be found here!
