Bill and Marla decided that the only way to pull
off a Sunday
afternoon quickie with their ten-year-old son
in the apartment was to send him
out on the balcony and order him to report on
all the neighborhood
activities. The boy began his commentary
as his parents put their plan into operation.
"There's a car being towed from the parking lot,"
he said. "An
ambulance just drove by."
A few moments passed.
"Looks like the Anderson's have company," he
called out. "Matt's
riding a new bike and the Coopers are having
sex."
Mom and Dad shot up in bed. "How do you know
that?" the startled
father asked.
"Their kid is standing out on the balcony too,"
his son replied.
