Teen-age Fornication!

Grampa Batty stirs from his afternoon nap just long enough to catch the end of a news bulletin.

"For-or-ornication!" spittle flying, the grizzled geezer howls, with the first syllable rising in a tremulous quiver. "Teen-agers! You can't trust 'em! Why in my day..."

Grampa stops in mid-sentence, falling back to sleep.

It was all just a dream, wasn't it? Nothing to it. Nothing at all.

Or perhaps it was something else entirely?

But surely abortions were legal in your day?

MKM- actually, they weren't legal until I was 22... not that I ever engaged in teen-aged fornication (not for the lack of trying.)
This story is going to explode in the next few days- and the teen's pregnancy is not the real story...

Email from my daughter today: "No joke -- I saw a car at the corner of Harrison and Franklin this morning with the license plate 4NAQATR"
