LOL! Good one. But, in all honesty, does anyone really want to think of their parents "that way"--what about YOU and your mother and father--Major Ewwww factor, right?
My story is comical. I had heard all about it from the kids at school --Lawdy, I think I was thirteen --anyway, I went home from school that day and said, "Mom, we've got to talk." She said, "OK, what about?" I said, "How are babies made? Do you just pray for them?" (I wanted her to say the words the kids at school said). Her answer ... "It helps." That was my sex talk.
Well, well, well, C.J. ... THIS is a surprise--I had no idea such a swirling, velvet vortex of secret passions lies hidden in the core of your being and has, all along, been the fuel for the gentle candle that lights your "chaste" prose. No children, grandchildren, or school visitations from the children's author here!
I just LOVE surprises! I think that side of me embarrasses my daughters, but I like to remind them I am a mother, a grandmother, a writer, a poet, but I am FIRST and FOREMOST a WOMAN. Boom Chick a Boom Chick a Boom!
OOOO LA LA Mon Cheri ... correcto mundo! When I told my middle daughter how babies were made when she was twelve, her only comment was, "Ewww, Mom, you did that three times?"
Many years later, when she and her husband had their 4th child, I leaned down and whispered to her in her hospital bed ..."Ewwww, Beth, you did that four times?"

And if they stop to really think about it--how'd they all get here if you weren't steaming hot with desire at least a couple of times in your life!
