A Film of Enduring Value


The other day, we were discussing the Zika virus, and I used the term "birth control":

Jane:  "What is birth control?"
Me:  "It means doing things so that a woman doesn't get pregnant after having sex."
Jane:  "So, is a condom birth control?"
Me:  "Yes, exactly."
Margot:  "Jane, you don't even know what a condom is."
Jane: "Margot!  Of course I do.  I've seen The Blues Brothers."

Don's belief in the value of letting small children watch this film is yet again confirmed.
