Scene: Morning. Mom in the bathroom brushing teeth, Jake on our bed watching TV...
Jake: Hey, Mom, what's "E.D."?
Mom: (Spit, rinse) Excuse me?
Jake: E.D. They're talking about E.D.
Mom: (Now hearing the commercial) Well, honey, some men have a problem getting an erection.
Jake: Yeah, so?
Mom: Well, they make a pill that helps with that.
Jake: Oh, yuck, gross. Why would they do that?
Mom: (Hearing the commercial now talking about sexual intercourse and Jake's eyes are glued to the set) Um, well, sometimes men have a problem in that area and need a little help so they can do things they want to do.
Jake: (Having already had "the talk" and the realization now dawning on him) Oh, yuck! You've gotta be kidding me right now?!
Mom: Remember, you cannot talk about this at school. What I tell you stays here, right?
Jake: Right. I'll probably forget about it by Monday anyway. Gross.
(Mom heading back into the bathroom, quietly cursing their dad for never being present for these types of conversations.)
Jake: (Whispering to self) Yuck. That's just gross. I can't believe it...seriously?
(seriously) =)
