Meg Cabot Quote

Dopey, in out of his depth, began to look desperate.Debbie Mancuso, he yelled, and I are not having sex!I saw my mom and Andy exchange a quick, bewildered glance.I should certainly hope not, Doc, Dopey's little brother, said as he breezed past us. But if you are, Brad, I hope you're using condoms. While a good-quality latex condom has a failure rate of about two percent when used as directed, typically the failure rate averages closer to twelve percent. That makes them only about eighty-five percent effective against preventing pregnancy. If used with a spermicide, the effectiveness improves dramatically. And condoms are our best defense - though not as good, of course, as abstention - against some STDs, including HIV.Everyone in the kitchen - my mother, Andy, Dopey, Sleepy, and I - stared at Doc, who is, as I think I mentioned before, twelve.You, I finally said, have way too much time on your hands.Doc shrugged. It helps to be informed. While I myself am not sexually active at the current time, I hope to become so in the near future. He nodded toward the stove. Dad, your chimichangas, or whatever they are, are on fire.While Andy jumped to put out his cheese fire, my mother stood there, apparently, for once in her life, at a loss for words.
