In this author's story he outlines a parental style that defies any reasonable sense of preparing your child for the real world or responsible adulthood. Eventually there comes a time that every kid has to know how to choose right and wrong. If not.... "Wrong" sure might look pretty attractive, just for fun.

I knew a boy named Grant whose mother did not want him to "lose his innocence" therefore she kept him away from a lot of things that many kids take for granted.
The most obvious being television and video games, Grant was only allowed to watch a carefully curated set of movies that his mother picked out for him. He attended home-school so his parents particularly his mother had a lot of control over what information Grant was allowed to have access to. Grant's parents were not especially religious either, I think they believed in God but they were not in regular attendance at any church nor did they have any type of family devotional time. I mention that because many people equate home-school with religious fundamentalism and Grant's family wasn't really deep into religion.
At the age of 12 Grant still did not know the proper names of his body parts, he still thought his penis was basically a hose for urine. I know because Grant's mom told me several times, she thought this was a good thing. Grant was innocent. I also knew because I overheard him say "my wee wee" he was 12 years old. I overheard him tell his mom that his "wee wee" kept becoming stiff in the morning and his mom told him to just ignore it. I wonder if he really ignored it.
I lost contact with them and the next time I saw Grant he was 14 years old, tall and handsome. I couldn't help but wonder if he knew by then that his wee wee is now a penis? Did he still ignore those erections? Surely not.
Grant was so innocent and his mom wanted to keep him that way. I just think that nature had other plans eventually.

Starting when we were just babies, there were two other boys in our block that were the same age as me. We were together all the time not... -
Dave brings us this story from his youth. I believe it is best to let the story serve as testament to his affection for someone he cherished...
i also wonder if Grant was just saying those things to his mom about how his wee wee was getting hard. being twelve i am sure he knew why. and he also knew how to tack care of the problem. even when you or anyone else was around he made sure everyone heard him talk to his mom the way she wanted to hear about anything going on in that department. after everyone was gone he went on his way to play with his wee wee to make it feel good. he knew if anyone found out what he was doing it would get back to his mom and he didn't want that to happen. just my though on this.
