Mum: I told you not to sleep with the boys you stupid #@$*
Girl: But I didn't. Mum I swear I didn't
Mum: Don't lie to me, you are f#$@g pregnant that's what you are
Girl: But I didn't. I didn't do anything wrong
Mum: How the f@#$ did you get pregnant if you didn't sleep with a boy
Girl: But I didn't sleep with him
Mum: What the F#$@
Girl: I swear Mum, I didn't
Mum: How the hell could he f#$% get you pregnant if you didn't sleep with him
Girl: We didn't sleep together. But you didn't say anything about standing

Hmmm - I'd say more sex ed needed.

the punchline I was waiting for was; "but Muuuum, we didn't sleep!!!!"


[Historical question, who started the idea that having sexual relations (droll) was the same as sleeping?]
