kids these days

“Mom,” Sage said to me after pre-school was out for the day, “Everyone in my school is having sex.”

“What?” I asked her, dropping what I was doing.

“Sex,” she repeated. “All my classmates.”

As I stared at her in shock and disbelief, she proceeded to clarify: “Maxine has sick. Hanson has sick. Edwin has sick. Everybody is having sicks.”

She was a little annoyed when I couldn’t stop laughing.
