What a kid I got, I told him about the birds and the bees and he told me about the butcher and my wife.

Summary

This quote humorously highlights the irony and innocence of a child's understanding of certain topics. The phrase "birds and the bees" is typically used to refer to a conversation about sexuality and reproduction, but instead of focusing on that, the child discusses something completely unrelated—the butcher and their parent's relationship. It illustrates the child's limited comprehension of adult matters while also poking fun at the unexpected and often humorous perspectives children can bring to conversations.
