Fighting the good fight
My mom, as I've mentioned, is a good woman. She's still writing to my nephew at boot camp a few times a week. He asked her to send him a specific car magazine, so she went to the store and bought it for him. But when she flipped through the magazine she saw several minimally dressed women & deemed them "pornographic." So she went through with a big black sharpie and covered them up. That's my mom. He's training for combat, and will soon know 500 ways to kill a person, but dang if she's going to let him see boobies!

Ha! Ha! I love the labor-intensive approach she took. She could have 1) pretended she couldn't find a copy, 2) just said she wasn't comfortable with it, or 3) just rolled with it, but no -- she took the hard road.
See if you can get your nephew to casually ask her to send him a copy of "Playboy." I'm imagining Mom at the newstand: "I'd like a copy of 'Playboy' and three boxes of black Sharpies, please."
Oh man! If he flat out asked her for a Playboy, I do believe she'd march down to Parris Island herself and give him a reprimand the drill sargents would be proud of!
Ok, THAT's funny!
It's always so embarassing when your aunt chews you out in front of the guys at boot camp.
Oh my, I am laughing so hard at this one. Hehehehehe.
