I am perfectly ok with teenagers exploring sexy content online –I was a teenager once, too!– but baffled about why they wouldn’t just nope out if something makes them uncomfortable.

This is Cobblestone. He likes to sit on this chair with his elbows on the windowsill and spy on the neighbors.

My husband talks about having to do a lot of on-the-fly editing when reading to Pern books to our then 10-year-old😛
