"If you don't get into a good college, mom and dad will have another child and replace you", the older brother Collin playfully chided the little one.

"Hey, I'm learning about physical love in my health class and I know mom and dad can't have a baby because they can't do physical love any more", little Ethan confidently boasted.

"Excuse me? Boy, you don't think mom and dad do the physical love thing anymore?" Dad asked.

"Mom? You and dad still do physical love?" Ethan asked incredulously.

"Honey, don't ask me, ask your dad..." Mom replied.

"Dad?" Ethan asked desperately seeking some reassurance.

"Son, first of all, just because you do the physical love doesn't mean that you automatically make a baby." Dad propounded in his infinite wisdom.

"The sperm does not always connect with the egg, if you know what I mean", dad continued.

"You mean you have to do it more than once?" Ethan asked quite exasperated.

"Dang right son. Sometimes you HAVE to do it more than once", Dad replied.

"That's gross. I really hope I get it right the first time..." said the little one.
