Things you really don’t want to overhear your teenage son say to his first date

1. “Tonight’s my gang initiation - and you’re invited!”
2. “Yes, I have the fifty dollars.”
3. “See you at half past seven, Coach.”
4. “Are you sure your husband won’t mind, Mrs. Robinson?”
5. “Does this count as extra credit for your class, Mrs. Johnson?”
6. “So you both shared the same cup?”
7. “You’re over 18, right?”
8. “I saw Mom and Dad do this once when they didn’t lock their door, and it looked fun!”
9. “I think I know how to put one on, but if I can’t figure it out we’ll just go without one.”
10. “Now, you’re _sure_ that your old boyfriend Bubba won’t get out of prison till next week, right?”
11. “Sure, Susie, I guess my family would like some Tic-Tacs. Oh, Chick Tracts… what are those?”
