“What’s the meaning of this?” Audrey demanded after she’d marched over to the television and switched it off. “Kids, off to bed NOW!”
They scurried past the fish tank, not daring to protest as they usually did. They could see that Mom was mad. After casting sympathetic glances at their baby-sitter, Avril, they raced up the stairs and to the safety of their rooms.
Avril stared at Audrey. “What do you mean?” she asked.
“Are you kidding me?” Audrey was beside herself with rage. “I walked in here and caught you watching that disgusting show on Netflix.”
“You mean ‘Big Mouth’”
“Yes! I don’t want my girls watching ungodly shows like that. This is a Christian home, Avril. If you can’t abide by the rules, then I will find someone else who can.”
Avril’s face suffused with color. “Sorry, Mrs. Miller. It won’t happen again, I promise.”
Audrey’s rage subsided. “Make sure it doesn’t. Good night.”
“Good night, Mrs. Miller.”
As she walked down the sidewalk, Avril texted her boyfriend, I got busted this time.

I read recently that the controversial Netflix series, Big Mouth, is promoting abortion to teens. The series, rated TV-MA, follows a group of tweens and teens going through puberty and is filled with coarse language and sex jokes. Understandably, parents are upset. I thought I would write a story based on this.

Notes to Women 
Netflix and Amazon Prime are all about views, not about propriety and morals.
