Dad: I guess… it just surprised me. Things were going so good.
2: Dad slips into the bed.
Mom: Things were going so well.
Dad: Okay, professor.
3: They lay facing each other, the mom is looking sly and smiling.
Dad: I don’t know. Do all girls do this? Did you spend all night, every night, staring at the stars in your room, alone?
Mom: Oh, no, I had way too many boyfriends at the time to do that stuff.
4: The dad is playfully pushing at her and smiling. She’s giggling.

Mom: Tons of em. A whole flock.
Dad: Oh, stop.
Mom: Couldn’t go a day without kissing a boy.
Dad: Staaahp.
