Stuff That Mommy and Daddy Do After the Kids Go to Bed!

If you read the title of this post I bet right now you are in the same dirty little place my poor confused husband is right now as I type this. Here is the scene:

Jamy, who has been up on the hot roof all day, is sitting on the couch in the living room. I was in the kitchen cleaning up from supper. Abby and Weston are blowing bubbles in the house because it is raining out and what the heck. Skylar is sitting learning what it means to be a part of this crazy family. All of the sudden I hear Abby say to Daddy, "Daddy, tonight when you and Mommy are doing your stuff, can you clean up this little bit I spilled?"

Jamy responds: "What?"

Abby says: "You know when you do the stuff with Mommy that you do after us kids go to bed."

Jamy, even more confused: "What?"

Abby, starting to think Daddy is an idiot: "Daddy, Mommy told me all about the stuff you do with her after we go to bed. Can you clean up what I spilled while you are doing it?"

Jamy, now shocked: "She told you WHAT?!!!"

The conversation just kept getting funnier from here. My poor husband, who on some matters still thinks like a 13-year-old boy, obviously is thinking that I have enlightened our five-year-old in the ways of marital relations.


Now flashback a few weeks so you can understand.

Abby and I are sitting on her bed talking while I put her down for the night. She asked me if I would read books with her in my bed. This is one of her favorite things to do. I felt awful but that night I had a couple of things that I had to do so I told her if she was still awake when I came up we would read together in my bed. She asked me what I had to do. I told her that Mommy's and Daddy's had things around the house that we have to do once the kids are in bed so that we can play with the kids more during the day. She thought this was okay and since then asks me every now and then if I have stuff to do that night after she goes to bed.

So now the question is, do I go in there and bail poor Jamy out before he says something he will regret telling our daughter or should I just sit in here and laugh for a little bit longer? Bet you can guess which one I pick!!!!!
