I went to the Minnesota Zoo this summer with my kids, and we saw some wild horses having sex. The male chased down one of the females and it basically looked, to our innocent eyes anyways, like he was mounting her and raping her. My kids and I just watched on in amazement, and then we talked about how that was NOT the way to have sex, as humans (the raping part of it anyway, not the doggy-style from behind part of it, because, from what I've heard, that is okay).
So, then we went to the Minnesota Zoo again a couple of days ago and we were approaching the wild horses and Ezra says, "Let's go see the baby horse." And it took me a second to realize what he was talking about. And then that vivid, VIVID memory came to play in my brain once again, and I said, "Ezra, horses don't have babies every time they have sex, you know. Same for people." To which he replied, "Oh."
