I don't have any offspring and consider the odds of sprouting any unlikely under current circumstances, due to my wife's persistant phobia about nine month long parasitic infestations. However, I do have a niece who is very attractive and starting to attract that sort of attention, so I can more or less relate. Unless the kid was someone I considered to be a wet-behind-the-ears cub, and I saw them picking up a $120 bullwhip, I'd bring up the subject with them (if I knew them well enough to casually engage them in conversation) or else I'd bring up the subject with the hypothetical young lady at some later point. If on the other hand the whelp was reaching for something dangerous (like the aforementioned singletail), I'd point them to a safer toy and some good reading material to start out with and growl some dire warning about harming any of my kin. Depending on the circumstances (and considering the pseudopodic* contents of the local marital aid stores around here) I'd probably just laugh quietly to myself and silently wish him lots of luck with that akward negotiation. quote:
