7 The Difference Between Boys and Girls (1/2)

On the way to the Sect Head's Mansion, Jam kept trying to get answers from Rina, but she just kept walking and ignoring Jam until they reached their destination. Then, they were before the Sect Head once again.

”Mhmm... What's wrong with her?” The Sect Head noticed Rina's odd composure and wanted to know what happened. She would never imagine the ridiculousness of their upcoming conversation.

”I don't know. After she uninvitedly entered my room… look this might seem weird without context, so I'll start the story from the beginning. Yesterday, I washed my clothes, and as you know I came to the academy without any more pairs. So, while I was waiting for the clothes to dry, I began cultivating. I lost myself in cultivation and when I woke up she in front of me. Anyways, to answer your question, I think she got shocked because I asked her why people wear clothes.” This time, before Jam even began to talk, he showed the proper etiquette of greeting his senior with a bow and a Daoist greeting. It didn't change the nonsensical nature of his words though...

”Mhmm… You say you don't know why people wear clothes?” The Sect Head was somewhat taken aback by this stupid question. She had the same internal questions Rina had back when Jam asked her why people wear clothes.

”Yeah. I don't get it. Humans are like the only animals that wear clothes… Why is that? You probably know right? I mean you are a mighty Sage. With your insights into the Dao you should know why people wear clothes right?”

Jam thought about this issue throughout his journey from his house to the Sect Head's Mansion. He reasoned that this matter was one about the nature of human beings, and that only those with high enough insights into the Dao would understand this profound mystery. After all, all Daos eventually converge into one, encompassing all types of knowledge. Once someone progressed far enough into their Dao they would be able to derive any and all forms of knowledge from their understanding of the Dao.

The Sect Head didn't know where to laugh or be offended. Some idiot just asked her if she knew why people wore clothes based on her insights into the Dao. She wanted to laugh at this retarded question, but at the same time, she saw that Jam really believed in his theory.

”Kid, people wear clothes to not be indecent. Would you dare run around the academy in your birthday suit for all to see?” The Sect Head thought that this simple question would let Jam intuitively understand the answer to his problem.

”How is someone indecent if they don't wear clothes? And why should I care if people see me naked?”

Rina: ”...”

Sect Head: ”...”

Jam: ”Mhmm?” Jam waited for a while, and seeing that they were not responding, he made a questioning sound as if to startle them up from their pondering.

Sect Head: ”You really don't know?” At this point the Sect Head was starting to believe the really existed a ten year old boy who lived without making contact with other humans in his life.

”Nope, I don't get it.”

”Alright then, do you at least know the differences between boys and girls?” The Sect Head thought that Jam would at least know this bit of information.

”Yeah that's obvious; girls are small and nice to look at, while boys are big and uhh… they're not ugly but I'd rather not stare at one.” Jam felt proud of his answer. He had eyes, so his answer should be correct.

'There's no way.' Both Rina and the Sect Head thought at the same time.

”Are those the only differences you know of?” The Sect Head really wanted confirmation now. However, the thought of a ten year old boy not knowing this, up until now, universally understood common-sense question, made her unintentionally show a humored smile.

”Pretty much.” Jam oblivious to their internal laughing, kept his tone positive, feeling that he was correct.

”You do know that girls and boys have different body parts right?”

”What?” Jam was genuinely surprised.

”Boy and girls have different body parts.” The Sect Head was on the brink of giving herself a face palm. 'Am I really having this conversation with a ten year old?'

”Oh really? From what I can see while girls have a nicer shape, and their face are more aesthetically pleasing, they don't have anything weird that I know of. Men and women have the same number of legs and arms, they both have one head, with two eyes, a nose, two ears, and a mouth. Where are they different?” Jam once again, retorted, in what he thought to be a perfect response.

”Their crotches are different.” This mighty Sage, actually spoke such words.
