Bill and Marla decided¹ the only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their ten-year-old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony and order him to report on all the neighbourhood activities.

The boy began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation.

"There's a car being towed from the parking lot," he said. "An ambulance just drove by." A few moments passed. "Looks like the Andersons have company," he called out. "Matt's riding a new bike and the Coopers are making love."

Mom and Dad bolted upright in bed. "How do you know that?" the startled father asked.

"Their kid is standing² out on the balcony, too," his son replied.
