Bertrand russell says, "There is no sound reason, of any sort or kind, for concealing facts when talking to children. Their questions should be answered and their curiosity satisfied in exactly the same way in regard to sex as in regard to the habits of fishes, or any other subject that interests them."This is good news for liberal parents everywhere and is exactly what led us to a conversation about 'lesbianity' the phrase coined by my delightful middle child yesterday evening.
"I don't believe in Christianity or Lesbianity, except maybe in porn." He hasn't learnt about threesomes yet, as we are not buying the porn, we're not that liberal. But frankly, if nothing else he appears to be shaping up and turning into the gender stereotype I most feared; a typical man. Could it have something to do with living in Cyprus? Environment is everything as Oliver James says. The house guests have interefered with my emotional audit, too many hours driving round Nicosia in the heat and no time to read.
