When I was in first grade, my friend Matt told me that in Paris, people fvck in the street.

Without having an idea of what the word meant, I asked my Mom, "Do people fvck in the street in Paris?"

She took a deep breath, and said "Jesse, the word fvck is a word that is wrong to use in public. Even though it doesn't describe anything wrong, you should never repeat that word, because some people might be hurt by it.

... and no, they don't."

I was absolutely satisfied with her answer. I knew where babies came from, but the concept of sexuality was foreign to me. I was less concerned with the specifics of what the older kid had told me than the fact that he was wrong.
