When Alex was a teenager in high school we once had a short “the talk” on the way to school. I told him that he should ALWAYS use a condom so that he doesn’t impregnate a girl with a tiny life form or, more importantly, so she doesn’t implant him with one.
A couple of years ago I built the third kid, Jack, a computer out of used parts. He was (and still is) a teenage boy, so I wanted to do something special to foster the interests I thought a teenage boy might have. In the Pictures folder I created a folder called “Boobies”. (At this point in telling my wife she strangely had a disproving look on her face. I don’t understand why). I then proceeded to fill it with dozens of pictures of blue footed boobies, a fascinating and strange animal sure to pique the interest of an expanding mind. (At this point the disproving look disappeared and there was laughter. Perhaps she has a sense of humor after all.)
