La gallina dijo eureka

The hen said Eureka
Now I'm going to refer to a topic that is the subject of many inquiries by mothers, fathers. Uh, by mothers and fathers: The children's questions, ma'am. Especially those questions about somewhat delicate topics, such as the well-known, how are babies born? Children must always be told the truth, of course in terms they can understand, so you can explain to them, for example, in the following way, you can say for example:
- Look kid, because mom and dad love each other very much, dad gave mom a little seed he had, that seed germinated, grew, and after nine months it turned into a beautiful cabbage, where the stork left you that brought you from Paris.
Children must always be told the truth. Children should not be scared with boogeymen, witches, ogres, fearsome imaginary characters, if necessary talk to them about more real things, the wolf, a spider, a good snake. It seems unbelievable, but there are still mothers, there are still mothers today, in this day and age, in the middle of the twentieth century, who still tell their children things like for example:
- Look kid, if you don't finish all your soup, I'll call the man in the bag.
Ma'am... and what if the man in the bag also doesn't want to eat the soup? Children must always be told the truth, you have to explain things to them, make them understand the reasons, all the reasons, because after all children, even the littlest ones, are thinking beings, we could almost say, they are human beings, so you have to explain things to them, make them understand, with patience, with love, for example, a typical case:
- Look kid, it's already midnight, isn't it dear?, it's a little late, and today we woke up early, do you remember we woke up early? And tomorrow we have to wake up early again, because you have to go to school, I have to go to work, do you understand what I'm explaining to you? It means, dear, that if you don't go to sleep now, I'll explode you.
Children must always be told the truth.
And now to finish this program, I leave you again in the company of
