That is definitely a hard question. Children say a lot and unless we write it down (and we should), we forget. This is one of mine.
I was an only child and you know how children are unaware of certain details until they are aware. I was probably no older than two years old and I saw my father in his underwear and I was so genuinely surprised:What have you put in there?! ******************************************************************************But my son and his fiancee (LOL) were almost four and we took them to the same sauna and they did not seem "to notice" any differences, they were simply oblivious.
******************************************************************************This one is not so much about saying it is about being like everybody else. I was probably two or so, we were at a sea resort. I was running freely naked, but then I saw people queuing to change from their swimsuits into regular clothes or the other way around.

I was out to dinner at "Outback (Steakhouse)" with my friend Robin and her daughter Rebekah, who was 5 at the time. We were reviewing the menu and discussing what sounded good to eat that night. Robin said, "I think I'm going to get the shrimp on the barbie".
Rebekah stopped drawing and coloring and with all seriousness and enlightenment, leaned over and said "how about you get the shrimp and I'll take The Barbie. " {Barbie, as in the doll}.
Let's get chocolate wasted! "All I could do was laugh.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
