At 8, you take her to bed and tell her a story.
At 18, you tell her a story and take her to bed.
At 28, you don't need to tell her a story to take her to bed.
At 38, she tells you a story and takes you to her bed.
At 48, she’d prefer you take her to your bed so that she can escape home if she doesn’t like you.
At 58, she no longer has doubts about taking you to her own bed.
At 68, she’ll feign virginal surprise and considerations if you take her to bed.
At 78, you tell her a story to avoid going to bed.
