While we were away the family had built a workshop in the backyard, similar in size to g's. The father was really proud and wanted to show us the workshop. So we went out back. Went in.
My eyes popped out of my head.
The walls were covered in nudie centerfolds. Although there must have been something other than nudies in the workshop for the life of me I can't tell you what was there. There might have been a truck or a woodworking shop or who knows what but I can't remember anything. Just a bazillion centerfolds. And even those just blurred together.
I tried to be modest but my mind was blank.
My mom was like, "wow, did you see all the naked women?"
I stuttered something like, "uh, no, what naked women?"
We, unfortunately, never visited Tommy's family again.
Oh the connection - my mom called Tommy's dad a "beatnik", which, when pressed, she defined as a hippie.
