To a certain extent, I can kinda see the point he seems to try to be making. This is where we end up with nearly grown peole believing that they were found in a cabbage patch or delivered by the stork when they were babies because we think they can't handle the concept of sex, even in the vaguest of terms. And really, who among us wants to believe that our parents ever fucked anyone, let alone each other (probably a few but not many I would think). I haven't seen the documentary yet and I don't know his whole viewpoint. I think kids are much more resilient than parents give them credit for at times. Please to note, I am not advocating we show our children actual intercourse or Faces of Death or anything. If you listen to kids, and you step back a bit, you let them know what they are asking, whether it be about death or senseless violence, or sex, it is a natural progression that happens over the years as they mature. It shouldn't be all just one dear in the headlights talk in my opinion. There is a documentary airing on HBO this Wednesday, I believe, called Tell Them Anything You Want about Maurice Sendak.

Sounds to me like he was speaking straight from his black, shriveled little heart. Interesting point, but I’m not sure Sendak is calculating enough to pull that off.
