Partly, but it's also because, -heretofore,- W&K have assumed that any strangers with ill intent will need to be protected from -Wapiko.-

Wapiko's actual lesson about the facts of life comes at six years old, on a summer visit to the house in Texas. (I made this story up years ago, but cannot think of any possible story to drop it in, so here it is.)

One day Wapiko looks out the window into the yard and sees two jackrabbits, well, multiplying. }:-{D

Wapiko, not having been told about this by anyone, goes and asks her mother what the rabbits are doing. Washuu replies by saying that they are making babies, and that most mammalian species do it in such-and-so a way, and describes basic mechanics. (Advanced studies will come later, and in much greater detail, when Wapiko's able to absorb the knowledge. Say, age eight.)

Wapiko listens carefully, thanks her mother, and then goes out front to cheer the rabbits on. "GO RABBITS! GO RABBITS! MAKE LOTS AND LOTS OF BABIES! YAAAAAAAAAY RABBITS!"

It was thereafter decided that, if and when any more children should come along, the -Redneck- would be the one to handle the Birds & Bees talk. }:-{D

Well, the 'charm' doesn't work on humans per se. Charley's affected because she's a cute little girl, and he babbles and gets himself in trouble. The various animals around Wapiko are charmed because, well, she's Wapiko, and they wat to be nice to her.

>Great work Red.

Thanks.
