Truly, it has no business mentally to hear.

And the dynamic soul will always weigh things up and dispose of them properly, if there be no interference of adult comment or adult desire for sympathy.

It is despicable for any one parent to accept a child's sympathy against the other parent.

And the one who _received_ the sympathy is always more contemptible than the one who is hated.
Of course so many children are born to-day unnaturally mentally awake and alive to adult affairs, that there is nothing left but to tell them everything, crudely: or else, much better, to say: "Ah, get out, you know too much, you make me sick." To return to the question of sex.

A child is born sexed.
