Let's face it.

Why do they refer sex education as "The Birds and the Bees"?

Who made up this phrase?

Are they mocking the importance of sex education to adolescents?

By the way, I don't see any connections of these two creatures to sex. Okay, maybe the bird makes some sense, but the BEES? Which part of sex education that goes 'buzzzzzzzzz'? The vibrator???

And why is it in phural form? To show complexity in sex education?

If a parent were to tell their children about the "The Birds and the Bees", they will confuse it to fairy tales like "Cinderella" or "Snow White" or any other tales that involves birds and bees. And they will go around telling their friends that Cinderella made them.

Sigh. Why not go straight to the point? Or at least give some sense to its' alias?

Like "The Elephant and the Cat". Or "How Dalat Got Its' Name". Wait, that's taken already. Sorry.

Great, another randomness out of the blue. =D
