The only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their 8 year-old son in the flat was to send him out on the verandah with an ice lolly and tell him to report on all the neighbourhood activities.
He began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation:
‘There’s a car being towed from the parking lot’, he shouted.
‘An Ambulance just drove by.’
‘Looks like the Anderson’s have company’, he called out.
‘Matt’s riding a new bike….’
‘Looks like the Sanders are moving’
‘Jason is on his skate board….’
After a few moments he announced, ‘The Bells are having sex!!’
Startled, his Mother and Dad shot up in bed!
Dad cautiously called out, ‘How do you know they are having sex?’
‘Jimmy Bell is standing on his verandah with an ice lolly.’
