Ah, the Superbowl.
Perhaps you've already made your plans for the Sunday's big event -- shopped for chips, washed your jersey, etc. But have you figured out how you're going to deal with those moments when you want to cover your daughter's eyes? Like during a raunchy commercial, or a racy halftime dance routine.
