How weird. We both wore sexy black items of clothing this weekend and then got super crabby. Can this just be a coincidence?

This isn't really sex advice, but at one point my H and I decided that it was necessary for our sanity that our very active kids have an early bed time. So, for years they were in their beds at 8:00 with no exceptions. The only thing they were allowed to do besides sleep was to quietly look at books. I am generally a very permissive parent and this was one of very few rules I strictly enforced, but it was definitely a winner. My H and I got some peace and quiet in the evening and my kids were both excellent readers at an early age.
