I thought the news about my public water supply would be the most traumatic of the day.

Not even close.

As some bizarre segue making sense only to my (90yo) dad (he was trying to explain that mom was having trouble with her bras), he drops a comment to the effect that they are still doing the nasty.

And here I've had an almost lifelong impression that the last time they went at it was somewhere around December 1952. The night that Dad's dad died.

Now I know why I don't make surprise homecomings during the middle of the day.

Well, I don't intend to suffer through this by myself. I'll have to let my sister know. ;^)

Isn't it amazing how niave children can be where their parents are concerned?

But Barefoot, I have really gone out of my way to make sure I didn't upset their delicate sensibilities by bringing anyone home. The least they could do in return is not to disrupt my lifelong delusions.

Brooks, just ignore it and get on with your life without giving it another thought. Some things are best left alone.

It's just that, well, IT'S MY HOUSE AND I'M NOT GETTING ANY!!!

And here I didn't think they had anything to do all day. See, it's not just kids that go looking for nookie when they're bored.

Brooks, your last post has me totally cracking up at 5:45AM. I haven't even finished my first cup of coffee and laughing up a storm...that my cat came up on my desk to see what the heck was going on with me.
