Eleven years before the arrest of Jason Strange.

A nine-year old Jason played with his red and orange puppets happily. Jason loved to play with his puppets, because in a way, they let out another side to him. This was a highly energetic side, a side that is enthusiastic, funny, and happy! He wouldn’t trade it for anything.

The door to his room slowly opened. Jason looked up. It was his mother, Sarah. She gave a smile to the young Jason and sat down beside him.

She spoke to him, saying “Hey, bud. How do you like those puppets I got you?”

“I love them so much! Thanks, mom!”

Sarah chuckled, hugging Jason. She stared at him for a second more before turning to look down at the floor.

“Mom? Everything okay?”

“Yes, son. Everything’s fine. But I need to talk to you about something important.”

“Oh, okay.” Jason put the puppets to the side.

Jason then asked “What is it mom?”

“Jason, you’re starting to grow much faster than I had ever anticipated a boy like you to grow. Sooner or later, you’re going to be all grown up and you’re gonna find a girl you really love.”

“Really?”

“Yep! That’s why I wanted to discuss with you… the birds and the bees.”

“Oh, I already know about those kinds of birds and bees mom! They’re really cool animals!”

“I’m not talking about those kinds of birds and bees Jason.”

“You’re not?”

“No. You see, when you get older, you’re going to start having some… specific feelings for a woman. And soon, you two are going to sleep together.”

“Really?”

“Yes. And when you two sleep together… you may start to have a little bit of ‘fun.’”

“Having fun is pretty good, right?”

“It depends on how you view it honestly. If you have too much fun, you could get children.”

“Oh, I see.”

“Yep. So, just know, sooner or later, you’re going to start experiencing a lot of fun below the sheets. It’s gonna be as chaotic as a bird and bee flying around wildly!”

“Okay, thanks for telling me.”

“You’re welcome… Jason. Hey, I heard Alex was coming by soon! Are you both excited for the play date?”

“Of course!”

“Alright, let me know how it goes after. I’ll be in my room working on some letters.”

“Okay mom, love you!”

“I love you too, Jason Strange. Don’t get yourself in trouble.”

“I won’t!”
