I think those of us without kids still get a lot of partial credit from
having *been* kids at some point.

Actually my dad told us a *lot* of stuff at a very young age (but in
his freakish English way -- WHO uses the word "breed" when talking about
humans?!), but it was pretty funny how by the time we kids hit Sex Ed in 5th
grade (of course we'd discovered Our Bodies Our Selves in the school library
years earlier), we knew way more about birth control than our parents did.
They thought it was pretty funny too...
