[The message is sent in the morning after the kid wakes up and he's still lazing around the living room of the apartment.]

Ne, ne, today is April 9th, right? I didn't mess up with the calendar, did I? Everyone was talking we lost a day the last week and I couldn't remember so I went ahead and took off a sheet from the calendar, so today is the 9th, isn't it?

Ah, but if that's not it then it's the 8th? Then today is my birthday! Or it was yesterday, I don't know. But i doesn't matter because now I'm an adult!

[Goku laughs proudly. Yes, he's so much of an adult! Because now he's two years old, see? Now he has yearS, in plural, like all the adults do.]

Niisan said that all adults are irresponsible and don't need to sleep much so now that I'm now I can stay up late playing and drawing!!

[Such a mature mindset. Anyway, let him think if there's anything else he wants to say or ask. Ah, right.]

Ah! Before I forget! There's going to be a festival, right? This Saturday, the Starfish Festival, I think. Anyone knows if I can have an okonomiyaki stand? I could cut the okonomiyaki so it has a star shape! It will be delicious! And tons of fun, I love the festivals here, there aren't boring speeches like in Heavens. And there's no people who badmouths my friends, too...

By the way, anyone knows what's a "pedophile"? One of my friends was called that once, I'm sure it's something bad but I don't really get it.

[He will stop rambling at Luceti's ears for now. But before he leaves he spends a bit more of time making a pretty drawing-advertisment. Okay, the "pretty" part is subjective.

After that he will be at the okonomiyaki restaurant for anyone who wants to eat or pay a visit to him.]

Pedophiles wish to do things with children that children shouldn't be doing.

[Things children shouldn't be doing...]

Like eating tons and tons of sweets and not washing their teeth?

Worse. Things children don't even learn about until they become older.

Older like an adult? I'm an adult now!

[Except not.]

[ /doesn't believe him ] How old are you?

I'm two years old now!! See? Years! In plural! Like adults have!

[Age logics! They work!]

Unfortunately, that's not quite an adult yet.

Eh? But I have years, in plural! Many years!

Yes, but you still have only one digit.

One digit? You mean I can't be an adult until I have two digits in my age? Even if it's already years in plural?

Exactly. [ And even then it still takes some time, but hey, that's not to be worried about for another eight years apparently. ] Being an adult isn't quite so simple.

Awwww. I thought I was finally an adult.

[All his joy gone down the cliff.]

So I have to wait... Many years before I'm an adult? But then I will be one, right?

If you wait long enough, yes, you'll become an adult.

But why does it take that long to be an adult?

Because there's a lot to learn about in this world.

... You mean I can't be an adult until we discover the nefarious secrets of Luceti?

[He's somehow linking this to a conversation he had with Haruhi.]

[ ... 'Scuse me? ]

No. Things other than that.

[Luceti is full of nefarious secrets, man, ask Haruhi.]

Ah! That's good! I was worried I wouldn't be able to become an adult until then, those secrets are veeeery hard and difficult to discover!

... What things do I have to learn about this world then? I have read the guide many times, I use it for reading practices too!

[There are words he doesn't get yet but in general he is able to understand it.]

The sort of things pedophiles wish to do with children. But if you don't learn about that when it's the right time, it can be very bad for you.

Oh... And how can you know when is the "right time"? Does Santa Clause bring you a book about it or something?

[Since Santa Claus knows everything about everyone he would know those times, right?]

Now if I told you, you might try to cheat! Hee hee. And we can't have that.

But I'm not a cheater!

How do I know that?

I just told you.

[That0s more than enough, clearly.]

And how do I know you're not a liar?
