Sneaky parents

If you are a parent, and you have small children, then you are sneaky.

You sneak a little water into their cups of sugar-laden apple juice, and sometimes when they nap, you and your spouse sneak a little sex.

If you are a parent who finds that offensive, then please go back to the morgue. Parents should sneak around with each other.

The fun part about being sneaky is the risk of getting caught. Besides, it's always better in the daytime when you have more energy and the kids haven't completely worn you out.

We avoid detection, but there has been one close call. A few years ago, my son woke up early from his nap, and we had forgotten to lock the door. As we hid under the covers, he asked why we were in bed without any clothes. I don't remember what we said - probably something about getting dressed.

He bought our sneaky excuse. Then he asked for juice. I added water, and he was none the wiser.
