Well…texting IS the new talking.

Perfeser, just come out and ask him. I’m sure he will explain anything you need to know.

Yukoner: Except, what it’s all for…

Now days they learn a lot younger and Skyler can probably give a seminar of his own on the subject.

Some day, I gotta have a looong talk with that boy. JD Calmpett kept putting it off, why shouldn’t Cosmo?

Some grownup are unprepared for this talk. I was instructed, “You don’t have to marry the girl” Hope I handle The Talk better.

whmill - that’s the worst possible advise anyone could give! No wonder our world is so full of intensely damaged people that have no idea how to have a good relationship and/or a good marriage!!

Hard to text with sticky fingers.

If you want to promote good marriages, the worst advice you can give someone is “Wait unitil you’re married.” All you end up with is a bunch of 18 year-olds getting married who have no idea who they are, yet…

A frank and honest talk not only about emotions and responsibility, but about biology.

Ah, but Ellie May had plenty of potential teachers of the ways of the wily suitor… Jethro probably did too, IIRC!

The entry in Wiki for the Beverly Hillbillies actually says Jed’s given name was mentioned once as Jedediah. Absent that bit from wiki, I would have conjectured J.D. went with “Jefferson Davis Clampett” as a given name….
