Nothing To Live For

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

I don’t want to know! the child says, bursting into tears. Promise me you won’t tell me!

Confused, the father asks what’s wrong.

Oh, dad, the boy sobs. When I was six, I got the There’s no Santa speech.

At seven, I got the There’s no Easter Bunny speech.

When I was eight, you hit me with the There’s no tooth fairy speech.

If you’re going to tell me that adults don’t really have enjoyment , I’ll have nothing left to live for.
