Boys & Porn

My son, who was about 14/15 at the time, had been gone for a week on spring break & didn't clean his room like I instructed him to before he left.  An out-of-town guest was coming for a few days (his room becomes the guest room in his absence), so I go in to change the sheets & flip the mattress. 

Low & behold there are 3 VHS tapes, without labels, under the damn mattress.

Mind you, I'd confiscated 3 others about 6 months prior to this discovery & gave them to my uncle. My son claimed the videos belonged to my uncle.  However, after my uncle reviewed the tapes, he said they weren't his, but his were missing & he'd keep the ones I found. 

My uncle & I later concluded that my child had found my uncle's stash & traded them for the ones I found, since the disappearance of my uncle's collection remains a mystery.

Some of the damn videos were "classic".  I'm talking brothers with Gumby/Bobby Brown "My Prerogative" haircuts & sistas looking like Apollonia & Madonna.

I asked my child where the videos came from. He claimed he found them next to a dumpster near his dad's house.  Lil liar!  My uncle & every other man I posed the question to stated the exact same thing.  "Men do not pitch porn....ever!" 

Why didn't my lil dumb ass offspring just put the videos in a shoebox at the back of the closet or something?!  Hell, his bed has 2 mattresses on it & he could've easily hidden them between the box-spring & the lower mattress & yours truly would've been none the wiser.

I have to admit, I did a sigh of relief because none of it was gay porn.  Don't mean to offend anyone....that's just how I felt.  I want grandbabies (he's my only child), but certainly not anytime in the near future.

Men: Is this a teenage boy rite of passage??

Mothers: Have you ever found porn in your child's possession?  If so, how did you handle it?
