Having parents in politics is never easy and having Ben Wyatt and Leslie Knope as your parents means you will become very familiar with humiliation. The Knope Wyatt triplets have a lot of embarrassing scandals involving their parents to discover, among them: the bowling alley punch, cab makeouts, and nerdy pen pal letters.

November 2032- Age 17- Pawnee- Embarrassing Parents Stay Embarrassing

"Of course, the election of 2032 is only a few days away. This election has been rife with scandal and embarrassing fallouts. Senator Barnett in Arizona, who is running for reelection, has had to deal with scandal. He had an affair with his dog walker, an affair and made a sex tape with his wife's yoga instructor, and one of his businesses, a massage parlor, is being investigated for allegedly being a brothel. His wife and her yoga instructor were just arrested for suspected arson and attempted murder because the senator's home was set on fire when he was sleeping inside. Meanwhile, in Indiana incumbent Governor Knope has been under, scrutiny is the wrong word, I don't know what to call it. But some "weird things" have come out concerning her marriage to one of the state's representative's Ben Wyatt. Apparently, the two have checked into hotel rooms as James and Dolley Madison and Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni. Governor Knope sent a slideshow of pictures of her husband's butt to the Huffington Post in 2012. So much weird stuff is coming out about these two so I'm gonna save the rest of the jokes I have about them for the nights to come."

Sonia came out of her daze and slammed down her lap top screen. She reached for her phone but it was already vibrating with a call from Wesley.

"Did you just see….," they both said at the same time.

"Yeah, tomorrow at school is going to be so much fun."

"God why do mom and dad have to be so embarrassing?" Sonia lamented.

"I guess we should be grateful we're not the kids of that senator from Arizona. But…."

"Eww," they both grimaced.

"We definitely shouldn't watch late night tv during elections years. All seven Jimmy's are talking about it."

"Why hasn't Stephen said anything about this?"

"Meet me in his room."

Wesley and Sonia tiptoed into the hallway and lightly knocked on Stephen's door. When he did not answer they creeped inside to find Stephen asleep face down on his gryssal pad. Once again Stephen had missed everything.
