My Kid is Never Going to College If She Asks Me for One of These…

You know how Bed Bath & Beyond sends out their weekly ad with that big ass coupon on the back? Well this week I sat down with my cup of tea while ignoring my children and browsed through it. I stopped dead in my tracks and spit out my drink when I saw what they were advertising in the “Going to College” section.

Ya ready? Here it is…

What the hell is a “Privacy Pop Bed Tent”?

Oh I’ll tell ya what it is. It’s a place where a horny college girl can take her captain-of-the-soccer-team boyfriend and tap that ass while her poor lonely roommate (definitely not me, of course) doesn’t have to pretend to be sleeping.

So I have two thoughts on this.

Thought #1: If I was actually a cool college student, this would be so money. Not that I really hooked up an insane amount, but every once in a blue moon I got my groove on (all clothes on, I swear Mom) and this would have been awesome for those very rare moments.

Thought #2: As a parent, I want to go to every Bed Bath & Beyond and buy them all and burn them so my daughter and son can never find one to buy. It’s bad enough we have a finished basement that I thought was a good idea for a playroom and now freak out at the thought that someday teenagers will be down there. But now businesses are giving out coupons to buy hook up beds? My poor old soul can’t take it.

And another question this advertisement begs me to ask. Why the hell is that adult guy sitting on a stupid bean bag to work? Dude, get a desk. You’re a grown up.
