Miscommunication

In the summer of 1815, Europe’s eyes were fixed on the small town of Waterloo in what is now modern-day Belgium. There, an English and Prussian coalition bravely faced the army of Napoleon Bonaparte, a Frenchman who’d brought war to the entire continent.

The English were eagerly waiting for battlefield news…but they didn’t like what they were hearing.

An 8-year-old girl went to her dad, who was working in the garage, and asked him, “Daddy, what’s sex?”

The father was taken aback, but he decided that if she was old enough to ask the question, then she was old enough to get a straight answer. He proceeded to explain everything about the birds and the bees, boys and girls, and even conception.
