TNWBAWTTM Roman Numeral IV

I want to show an arc with the husband and wife character's going to a swingers social. The husband and wife don't know it is a swinger party. They get asked to come over for a dinner by their neighbor, where the people will exchange wallets and swap partners. The husband agrees to the dinner not knowing it is a swingers party, he just thinks about the wallet exchange as a way to get to know the other people in the party and nothing more. They are asked by their neighbor (60 to 75 years old). The conversation will be done over the phone and when the host of the party tells the dad character about them being swingers, the dad sneezes over the part. When the husband and wife go to the party they are introduced to the rest of the party members. No one from the neighborhood knows about this and none of them are at the party, all these characters will be historical domain characters like Samuel Clemens and Olivia Langdon (Mark Twain). The focus will not be on the party members, but how the family reacts to this situation. The family, not liking the idea of a swingers convention in their neighborhood is the main focus of this story. The beginning of this arc can start out by the dad asking another neighbor why the family across the street never wants to do anything with the rest of the community. The supporting character/neighbor then talks about the family that lives right across the street and how they dabble into some taboo subjects and shouldn't be bothered with. This kind of story gets a little dark so to keep it light-hearted I could also have a side-story about the youngest son going to his first professional baseball game. If any story is to be told here it would be that the son is in love with baseball and wants to surround the rest of his life with baseball. The arc would include at the end, the son either joining the ball club as a batboy or a vendor at the ballpark.

With regards, Jzenith
