DEAR MAYO CLINIC: I have two children — a 3-year-old son and a newborn daughter. My son is beginning to notice his anatomy more, touching his genitals and asking questions about his sister.

Based upon the 1610 comedy by Ben Jonson (The Devil Is an Ass ), this satirical comedy of humours is a wacky surprise, not at all what I thought I was walking into.

We might be back at the movies and watching the T20 World Cup games at our favourite nightspots but not at the same frequency as 2019 or before. Blame it on a post-pandemic world.

In fact, in the coming weeks, you’ll even be able to meet up with mates from interstate, so you can kiss goodbye to those inter-city rivalries. The only question left is, how to celebrate? Cue...
