Go for a drive to check out the stars. I hear there’s a cool comet. Park in a dark spot. Good time to check out the back seat.

I remember one strip where Holly and Alix were discussing Phil with their mom… Things mentioned were whether there would be any prospect of a new brother or sister… And Alix or Holly blurted out, “Got eggs?”…
Mommy’s comment?
“We are not having this conversation…”

The girls know what’s up…

Come on Val, don’t be a wuss. Send them up to their room or else…

Just tell them what you really want to do. They’ll leave quickly, in disgust. No kid wants the mental image of a parent being romantic.

1) That’s when Mom lays down the law and TELLS the girls to go upstairs. 2) Rent a different movie for the girls and send them upstairs to watch it. 3) Just start kissing; the girls will leave. Ew, gross! ;) 4) Val and Phil should just go to the Drive-In! The girls are old enough to be home alone. Aren’t they?

Do you have a recorder?

I would’ve told them to go to bed early tonight (though it’s not a school night) and we’ll negotiate a bonus later, a privilege they don’t normally get. But no way would I allow them to interrupt my date, I’m still the parent!
