Conversation with my son, aged 12, while folding laundry

kid: "So, Mom, I told my friend about Dad dating a stripper..."

me: "Yeah, what did he say?"

kid: "He said, Look on the bright side, she's probably hot...."

me: "Yeah, she probably is that...."

kid: "And then he said, Maybe you'll get to go to 'Take your Kid to work day!!' Can you picture THAT?"

me: "Umm, yeah, I can see it now- "Cover your Eyes, Billy!!"

kid: "Dad says she's really smart, and graduated from William and Mary...is that true?"

me: "I have no idea. Maybe so."

kid: "Well, I guess she decided to use the assets BELOW her brain to make a living..."

me: "Right. Have you met her yet?"

kid: "Nope. Does she have any kids? I hope not. That would suck if your mom did that."

me: "No, she doesn't."

kid: "She probably doesn't know a lot about kids. She doesn't see any where she works, that's for sure"

me: "Except on "Take your kid to work" day, that is."

With that I tackled him and covered his eyes, yelling "Don't Look!!" while he sang 'bow-chicka-WOW -WOW' circa a bad '70's porn movie.
My kid is hilarious. Damn I love that boy.
