Dez pulled out one of his dining chairs. He absently pulled the magazines off the bakery box as he thought of another word. He bought the steamy crossword puzzle book for his father as a gag gift. Never once did he consider his conservative father would actually like the thing.
"Coition," Dez replied, dryly. He didn't mean to sound so bored, because if his mother got wind of his mood of late, she would have a dozen of his family and friends camped out in his loft, in full out intervention mode. She just discovered the television show that had several seasons under its belt. To her credit, his mother was just as conservative as his father, and reality television was one of her least favorite things. Yet, the older they got the more Dez saw changes in them. Ones he actually approved of. But he totally regretted getting them the sex crosswords. This new uninhibited nonsense had to stop.
"Bingo!" his father yelled through the line. There was some scribbling then a giggle. "So, what's it like living in the Devil's Playground of late?"
They could stand a bit more change.
"You should come to visit and see for yourself, Pop. Granddad used to tell me how much you loved it here as a boy. Bring mom and I'll make it special."

"Everything's amazing, Pop."
