Boy genius was not aware of anyone in his vicinity who could count up to a thousand. Some stupid adult had suggested a number larger, even larger than a thousand, could be simply constructed by adding one to the largest number but that was stupid. Surely, or they would just have taught until that number, it wouldn't take a genius like him to understand the concept. Therefore, it was not true something else had to be up.
He knew all about sex too. Well he knew people got naked and rubbed against each other. The exact details were not clear to him yet, but there was no need to know about that, he already knew more than anyone else in the class. He also knew sex is how babies came into your mother's stomach. He figured maybe the rubbing hard part would cause blisters in the tummy that would grow up one day to become a baby growing inside the stomach and after nine months -- yes he even knew the pregnancy duration -- the doctors in the hospital would take the babies out after doing an operation.
Which made him wonder how not everyone in the world was a veterinarian. Since he knew animals gave babies, and you needed doctors to see the pregnant animals like the girl dog in their house who had given birth to four puppies right after the doctor had come to see her in the house, he figured that's how it happened everywhere. Even in the forests. So there would be teams of medical professionals in helicopters and jeeps and boats running around the jungle all day and night long, helping cows and elephants and tigers and leopards give birth to their young ones. What before the doctors, though, or places where they didn't have doctors because he knew a lot of places didn't have doctors but still had many many animals it didn't make any sense where the animals came there in the first place. He had tried asking that to father but he had shushed him in the party, which meant they were hiding something. Maybe it was related to sex, they must have been afraid he was close to figuring sex out, and they didn't want teenage pregnancies for him. That's something else he knew about but not in complete detail.
The world would be a lot peaceful place, he thought, if they caught up all the evil criminals in one big net like one they used to catch fish in the ocean like they showed in Discovery Channel and threw them out in an island. They shouldn't kill them all because it would be against human rights -- another word he was proud to know -- but let them sit in an island and commit crimes against each other, they are all criminals anyway and wouldn't hurt anyone in a civilized society. It would be their punishment, maybe like that they would understand what bad people they had been to others if others did the same things to them. An eye for an eye, that would be a good deal.
