Last night, I went back to my hometown to have dinner with my family to celebrate my dad's birthday. We chose to go to this nice-ish place that seems to be a family restaurant, with a nice fireplace in a small village. It seems like one of those places you go to after church. My family decides that this is a place to loudly discuss sex shops. Particularly, what was the difference between your standard adult porn shop and your standard woman's pleasure shop and how one is gross, creepy and old man filled and the other is more hippie filled, not so gross but a little awkward.
After our mother got over the initial shock that her children went to such places, both her and my father participated in said discussion. No one in my family hesitated or was embarrassed, but their were some red faces, particularly in my brother-in-law and my brother's girlfriend. Perhaps it was because the table next to us just so happened to leave right when the discussion started (or was it when I was discussing nipple clamps???). I just now realized I might be getting some weird website visitors with a few simple search terms.
Some other random stuff I learned about my mom this weekend, that I didn't know before:
-when my mom was younger she used to call into the local radio station and dedicated songs to boys she liked in school (she was totally THAT girl)
-she (like me) thinks that it is not right to steal from the plastic candy/nut bins at the grocery stores or for that matter steal a grape from the produce department
-when my sister was about 1, my mom and dad took her to see Elvis Costello play at Summerfest (a Milwaukee music festival)...isn't that kind of awesome?
