If you don’t listen to The Moth podcast on NPR,  you’re really missing out.  Each podcast is comprised of 10-15-minute stories, told on stage without notes before a live audience.  I have heard a lot of great Moth stories over the years, but this one really resounded with me.  I have a good friend whose twin sons will be 16 this year, and I can only imagine what a struggle that is.  Don’t get me wrong.  They are wonderful boys, and I love them completely, but I can’t imagine surviving a conversation about sex with one teen, much less two.

This charming and funny story is a beautifully-told tale of how a father takes upon himself to educate his twin teenage sons about sex in the internet age.  Enjoy!
