Inconvenient Education

In preparation for the long-awaited arrival of our new couch, I roped my best friend and the boys into helping me haul the old furniture out of the basement and into the garage.  When Ashley came down to survey the nearly empty family room, she held her arms out and started to spin in a circle.

"There's so much room.  There are so many things we could do!" she exclaimed, still twirling.

Being a boy, my brain instantly came up with no fewer than a dozen things that we could do, as well - none of which carried less than a PG-13 rating and many of which carried a higher rating than that.  Giving Ashley a knowing look and a sly wink, I said so - out loud.

I was unaware, however, that we were not alone.

From inside my preschooler's pop-up play tent, standing in the corner, emerged Justin's newly enlightened 11-year-old head.

"Dad!  Gross!"

*sigh*
