I know this isn’t a funny situation, but I can’t help but think of South Park in moments like this. I’m also reminded of a quote by the late Charles Fernley Fawcett, who when talked about an affair he had with his friend’s mother at age 15. By his own account, when he was 15 Fawcett had started an affair with his best friend’s mother. “If that’s child molestation,” he declared, “I would wish this curse on every young boy.” (Source)
I’m sure I’ll get a little slack for making light of this situation, but how many guys wished this happened to them when they were 15? I’m not condoning it, but I do think it is funny.
