D-A-T Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) My youngest just came downstairs from watching tv in his room and said. “Dad, what’s love juice?” I nearly choked on my brew but thought I’d better be honest so I said “well son, when a woman gets sexually excited her xxxxxxx gets wet, that’s called love juice” He just stared at me shocked and bewildered so I said “why? What is it you’re watching up there?” “Just Wimbledon Dad” he says Edited June 30, 2022 by D-A-T 1 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
