A husband and wife decided they needed to use certain phrases to indicate that they wanted to have sex without letting their children in on their sex life. The husband told his five year old daughter, "Go tell your mommy that daddy needs to type a letter." The child told her mom what her dad had said, and her mother responded by telling her young child, "Tell your daddy that he can't type a letter right now, because there's a red ribbon in the typewriter." The child went back to tell her father the bad news. A few days latter the mom told her child, "Tell daddy that he can type that letter now." The child told her father and came back to her mother and gave the fathers response, "Daddy said never mind with the typewriter, he already wrote the letter by hand."
