I downloaded the new Strokes album today, mostly out of gratitude for "Juice Box." I can't believe it took this long before somebody made that phrase dirty. I mean, now that they've made that song, it just seems obvious how dirty it is. Juice box!
Given that parenthood can sap the libido of even the liveliest couples, I think the Strokes have done a tremendous service by eroticizing the most banal of parental accessories. I'm imagining young couples having dialogues like this:
"Hon, did you bring the juice box?"
(Meaningful pause, lift of an eyebrow)
"Oh, I never leave home without it."
Or possibly, "I got your juice box right here."
Or maybe, as dad whips a juice box out of the diaper bag, mom might say, "Hey, I really like what you do with the juice box."
Might it be that by adding even the tiniest erotic charge to small parenting moments, The Strokes are lessening the stress that parenthood places on marriages, and thereby lowering the divorce rate? Watch the data!
