what I knew about love

I learned from television.  My childhood education on everything from fidelity to negligees was provided by a few favorites, including:

• Three's Company
• Dukes of Hazard
• Heart to Heart
• Love Boat
• Dallas
• General Hospital
• The Dating Game

Never, in a million years, would I have asked my mom or dad, sitting right there watching with us, anything about the nitty gritty.  Conversely, our kids don't watch TV, certainly not any prime time network sitcoms or melodramas that might provide topics for conversation and I am asked if I've ever given a hickey and to whom and in what location??!!  Maybe my parents knew exactly what they were doing. . .
