    Clueless Mom

    Carole, I hope you're not the mother of teenagers, cuz if you thought *this* is what was happening:

    "a pair of skinny teenagers dressing and undressing in front of a mirror, watching a clock count down the seconds till the guy arrives at the girl's house so that they can have sex in the basement"

    you totally misread what was happening. Obviously they are practicing putting on their clothes extremely quickly--like for when Mom knocks at the basement door and calls out "What's going on down there?"
