Birds, Bees, and Teenagers
Yesterday we took Chandler to the park for a “relaxing” afternoon of fun and frolic. I put “relaxing” in quotes because spending any amount of time with Chandler in an open space is anything but relaxing. Maybe if we could tie him to a tree….
This week’s trip to the park featured a new element we hadn’t seen before. HIGH SCHOOL MAKE OUT SESSION!
About 100 yards away from us were two very squirrelly teenage love birds sucking each other’s faces off. You know how they have “Shakespeare in the Park”? Well this was like that MTV show “Skins” in the Park.
Normally this wouldn’t really be all that blogworthy, but when they finally got up to leave (and I assume go home to ask mom to fix them a snack of Graham Crackers and Sunny D) they did something we weren’t expecting. They gave each other a big high five.
This really made me think. I can’t remember the last time I’ve given my wife a high five after a make out session. And I think that’s what will bring the spark back.
All of this reminded me that some day I will have to give Chandler the sex talk. A small panic attack came over me. What would I say? How weird will that be? Then I realized all I have to do is make Chandler watch a marathon of MTV’s “Teen Mom”.
….I need to stop writing these posts while my wife is watching TV in the background.
