how much they care.
kids don't have awkward conversations. adults do.

ours, years ago, went like this:

her: why are the boys kissing?
me: they love each other.
some boys like girls and some boys like boys.
some girls like boys and some girls like girls.
her: ok
*goes back to playing*

one of my biggest peeves with some parents is that they don't really TALK to their kids, they talk at them.
so when stuff like this happens they get mad cause they don't know how to have a conversation with their own kids.
