Talking In Code 
A husband and wife decided they needed to use "a code" 
to indicate that they wanted to have sex without 
letting their children in on it. They decided on the 
word "typewriter." One day the husband told his five 
year old daughter, 

"Go tell your mommy that daddy needs to type a 
letter." The child told her mom what her dad said and 
her mother responded, "Tell your daddy that he can't 
type a letter right now because there's a red ribbon 
in the typewriter." The child went back to tell her 
father what mommy had said. 

A few days later the mom told the daughter, "Tell 
daddy that he can type that letter now." The child 
told her father, and then returned to her mother and 
announced, "Daddy said never mind with the typewriter, 
he already wrote the letter by hand."
