The Guardian: From The Message Boards

I've been forced to explain homosexuality to my kids (aged 3 and 4) because their uncle is gay.
This incredibly difficult and traumatic experience went as follows:

Child: Why does Uncle Bob go everywhere with Pete?
Me: Because they're in love, just like Mummy and Daddy are.
Child: Oh. Can I have a biscuit?

We're all scarred for life.
Scarred, I tell you.

Update: Variations on this went viral overnight and began to annoy the fuck out of me, so I've now decided it's a bunch of pukey hokum crap.
