Asexual reproduction

"How was school?"
"Good."
"What did you learn today?"
"We learned some stuff in science class."
"Like what?"
"We learned a few things about single-celled organisms like amoeba."
"That sounds like fun."
"No it was actually really boring. There are no sexes. Are they gay?"
"I don't really know. But don't they reproduce?"
"Yeah. I thought it was cool the way they multiply. They eat and then divide by asexual reproduction."
"I wonder if humans could multiply like that, life could have been much simpler."
"No, it would be really freaky. Imagine people splitting up in the middle. Like, you come out of a restaurant and BOOM."
