A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a phone-call speech balloon reads, "Hello. Mrs. Hudson, this is a bit awkward but I thought you might want to know I believe your daughter may have found your... private... you know... possessions." Panel 2: a blonde woman holds a phone to her ear, looking confused, and says, "What?" Panel 3: a banner labeled "Earlier..." introduces a child's line, "Teacher, you said adults have sex and the babies look like the adults that had sex." Panel 4: a gray-haired teacher in round glasses stands wide-eyed before a group of children, saying, "I, uh, yes, that is accurate." One of the kids raises a hand and asks, "Then how come I'm not a cyborg?" The joke: the child concludes from the lesson that since she isn't a cyborg, her mother's partner must have been a robot, implying the mom owns robotic/sex-toy "possessions" the child discovered. Votey (bonus panel): a crudely drawn smiling face says, "Thank god she only saw the level one box," implying there are higher-tier, more elaborate boxes of such possessions.
