The internet will teach him everything that is needed.
Lie to them and tell them some sort of fairy tale or anything else non-sensical.
Tell it to them straight, and shatter the tiny, protected world they've been living in.
Run away screaming.

An excruciating long and detailed explanation on whatever subject I am asked about. Usually with visual aids.
I tend to lie when my godson askes me questions. I cant bring my heart to lie to him just yet!
Oops, yeah sorry my mind was else where! Yeah I lie to him now cause I cant tell him the truth about stuff he askes him, example Father Christmas being not real! Thanks for that!
"Ask your mother."
or
"Ask your father."
And then I run away. :[
Usually it would be a younger sibling or a cousin, I would say "I'll tell you later," or "I dunno," but secretly hope they find out in other ways. I'm not really good at having these "talks".
explain in a sensibile manner, plus tell them its for grown ups and alot of bad dieses can happend to u if you do it, i would advice you show them some pictures of what could happend, not to graphical dough or youll turn them into a wierdo when they're older, reasons.. well you know that
Never Ending Pain....
I'd tell them straight.
Either they take it, or they don't.
"THATS LIFE" you tell them
I like living in world without pussies(metaphorical, not the body part), I tell it to them straight.
I can't say I've been in the situtation often, but if I was with my kids in the future, I would probably have to tell a small lie or divert their attention. I believe that we should try not to cause these situations though.
Santa Claus, for example; all that charade ends in is little kids being upset. Why do we maintain that situation? I'm going to make sure not to start it with my kids; somehow I won't introduce Santa Claus, while ensuring that my kids won't ruin the beleif for their classmates.(I'm not sure how I'm going to do that though.)
I have a very funny story saved somewhere about this subject, but if I posted it, I would get the post snipped most likely.
As for the question, nope, never been asked that, as both my brother and I just read about it in books. To hell with asking someone and getting crooked answers because were not old enough, we figured wed just look it up ourselves xD (And when I looked it up, it was like O_o)
well the child is most likely NOT mine so i have no business telling them anything that could be important. so i run.
Whenever my 9 year old brother asks I tell him that he's too young to know or that he'll find out when he's older. Then I tell him to ask dad.
