I remember sneaking around my basement as a kid to catch episodes of “Glee,” a television series many parents deemed controversial due to its display of teen pregnancy.

At summer camp one time I was part of an elaborate game of human Clue. The counselors dressed up in laboriously ridiculous costumes and tasked us with equally ridiculous challenges before they would give us hints toward discovering whodunnit.
