In reality, it's most likely nothing that the boys hadn't been exposed to, oh, maybe 8 years earlier. If we had more parents like her, then maybe this country wouldn't have such a stupid, taboo hangup on nudity and sexuality. We still live in one of the most Puritan societies in the developed Western world.

Right on, TM875... Let's put this in perspective, in just over a year he and/or some of his friends will be off to the Middle East to fight. Part of the thing about turning 16 is that it is the first step into manhood. His mother knew it would be something he and his friends would freak over - and it would be fun. If you are old enough to pay taxes, you can watch a girl dance around in my book.
My mother bought me my first subscription to Playboy when I turned 16, and I thought it was a riot. She said "you work, you go to school, and you handle the lawn and chores of the household, I think you can handle Miss September. Besides, it's the kids who are sheltered that end up with a baby by 17!"
Of course what she was really saying was that I could feel comfortable around her and talk to her about anything if I needed to. Loved her for that.
