Transcript

He asked me recently for the sex talk. He literally asked me for it. I was not prepared. I didn't sit him down, he sat me down. And I said, do you want me to talk or do you want to ask questions? Like I'm at a job interview. And he goes, I'll ask questions. And I was like, okay. But then I'm bracing myself and 10 years old, this was his first question. He goes, have you ever had sex? I know, so cute. He's so, I mean, when the evidence doesn't even know about the crime, has no idea. Zero idea.
