I knew the proper names of body parts before five. I mean, granted, my mother had a strong background in child development, but knowing the basics about their bodies is an important tool to help avoid child sexual abuse

Donald Trump was the presumptive nominee for the Republican Party after the Indiana primaries; more than a month before the referendum to leave the EU
