A father asked his 10-year old son if he knew about the birds and the bees.

"I don't want to know, " the child said, bursting into tears. "Promise me you won't tell me." Confused, the father asked what was wrong.

The boy sobbed, "When I was six, I got the "There's no Easter Bunny" speech. At seven, I got the "There's no Tooth Fairy" speech. When I was eight, you hit me with the "There's no Santa" speech. If you're going to tell me that grown-ups don't really get laid, I'll have nothing left to live for. "
