I've heard from my old English professors that she did in fact discuss actual sex and kissing boys with open honestly. He edited that out as to preserve a more "angelic" image of his little girl (and tbh I can understand why any father is uncomfortable revealing info about his daughter's truly private sexual feelings).

Anything but a discussion of folds and how a baby could possibly come out of there!!! Kids may wonder about the human body (which they already do) and think it's OKAY!!!

It is indeed. A+

Same here. I've seen the one with Bert, but Picard is a new one.
