Mars Bar Bribe

THE only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon ‘quick bout of love making’ with their eight-year-old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony with a Mars Bar and tell him to report on all the street activities.

He began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation:

“There’s a car being towed from the parking lot.

An ambulance just drove by.

Looks like the Anderson’s have company. 


Matt’s riding a new bike.

Looks like the Sanders are moving.

Jason is on his skate board.

The Coopers are having sex.”

Startled, his mum and dad shot up in bed! Dad cautiously called out,
 “How do you know that?”

“Jimmy Cooper is standing on his balcony with a Mars Bar.”
