Contemporary and Abstract

They freak me out too.

"And what are little boys made of? Slugs and snails and puppy dogs' tails."

A female acquaintance once equated the male member (her husband's) to a slug. Well, they do both expand and retract, more or less, in relation to certain stimuli. And produce slime. My slug has almost completely retracted (along with testes) into the body. Must be a defensive manoeuvre - like a tortoise. 😁

As a little boy I was told little girls were made of "sugar and spice and all things nice."

How...very true.
 
Jeez, what crazy crap we are told (and rhymed to) as children. I totally forgot about that one. That probably did a number on me hearing that, trying to live up to being everything nice and feeling recoiled about any masculine qualities. How stupid!
