An Acceptable Compromise by Colin Kelly

[Rutabaga]

In which two 21st century kids find they have a 19th century mom, who seems to have forgotten the actual process by which the kids came into the world.  Hint:  It wasn’t the stork.

Umm... so that's what happens... blimey! You could knock me over with a feather (not a stork's).

Thank goodness for a 20th century dad to bridge the gap.  Now all we need is a 22nd century method for getting all that laundry out of the way in a hurry.

The perfect solution: have the atavistic mom attend a current middle school sex-ed class.  Have her bring smelling salts.

What’s so exasperating is that what the mom should be experiencing is gratification that her boy is becoming a man and “everything works.”   Definitely some major hangups there.

Mom does the laundry except for Jeff's underwear and sheets which he does himself. Problem solved!

At least Dad wasn't portrayed as being three sheets to the wind

Ivor, what a horrible, wonderful pun! But I think it might be more suitable for Jeff. (Think about your words!)
