Oh ya, you decided to read my post today based totally on the title, didn’t you?
Well, all you moms and dads of cute little children, who write the cute little things their kids say, all over social media … look out! Their questions and comments may just go where my kid’s have!
While driving in the van with my daughter, the radio was playing and, as often is the case, my daughter zeroed in on the useless information that they were sharing between songs.
The information was about an article written by psychologist Seth Myers, who wrote that make-up sex ignites similar brain neuron firing to that of cocaine to an addict (I know you are dying to read the whole thing, so here is the article that Mr. Myers wrote).
Before the next song could start the question was flowing from the lips of my daughter:
“Mom, did (notice the past tense) you and Dad have make-up sex?”
Immediately I thought to myself, “why, in heavens name did I think that having an open relationship (complete with ‘ask me anything’) with our kids was a good idea?”
Then I replied, I thought rather brilliantly (yet not too direct), “honey, I think everyone has had make-up sex.”
And I sighed a breath of thankfulness that our Q&A time of testing was over 🙂
… NOT!
She was just warming up!
The next question just about floored me (for so many reasons … none of which I will share here).
“Mom” she then said, face screwed up like she had just taken a bite of a lemon, “do you and Dad s t i l l (draw that one out) have sex?”
The palms started sweating!
My only response to my daughter was (with indignation), “You know that there are couples who are in their eighties who are still having sex?”
Her facial response was a mix of shock and disgust, which (finally) silenced her!
Watch this clip of the Happy Huffmans, aka Bruce and Esther, (they have become famous for their video of them utilizing technology, and their love story as well … worth checking out too) . And if you cannot watch the entire thing, start the video at 1:40 … although shocking to my daughter, I may have been right 😉
Love it!
