15 Family Friendly Codewords For Sex – or “Doing The Waukesha”

Remember when mom and dad were always going upstairs to “make the bed” or “fold the sheets”? Well guess what buddy - those were probably codewords for sex. I know, shocking right? Mom and Dad had sex?

The “doing the waukesha” reference comes from a story in Wisconsin (click here to check it out) of a couple that had sex in the lobby of a county jail. We spent most of the show that morning talking about this…and “doing the waukesha” was born. 

Back to the list. This comes from an AskReddit thread of people sharing their favorite FAMILY-FRIENDLY phrases for intercourse.  And here are the ones that scored the most likes . . .

1.  "Going to take a nap."

2.  "Helping each other with our taxes." (okay, that’s weird) 

3.  "Having an adult meeting."

4.  "Sharing some quality time."

5.  "Moving furniture."

6.  "Going over insurance papers."

7.  "Playing hopscotch."  (???)  (Not sure this will GET RID of the kids.)

8.  "Going to fold laundry."

9.  "Doing some cardio."

10.  "Trying to conceive.” (well that’s just blunt) 

11.  "Doing a team-building exercise."

12.  "Enjoying each other's company, you know, biblically."

13.  "Loading the dishwasher."  (This works better if you have locks on the kitchen door . . . because no one is going upstairs to do the dishes.  Kids are young . . . they're not stupid.)

14.  "Knockin' boots."

15.  "Listening to some Prince."

16.  And one person suggested, "Letting the kids watch another episode."

After reading these suggestions, we feel better about “doing the waukesha” reference - bottom line: Your kids aren’t stupid, I’m pretty sure they know what’s going on. My parents never had sex though. EVER. Although they would say they were going to “play hopscotch in the dishwasher”...wait. Oh no.
