Need to laugh? Read this. I'm sure they wouldn't let Motherlode publish anything like this....but you better believe my Mom would have been a rich vein of material if they would.
After Mum's divorce, we were regaled with tales of our Father's prowess. SOmething must have worked quite well; I'm the eldest of six.... and then when Mum and her future new husband, Richard were "seeing" one another, further story-telling ensued. Seems activity was based upon the length of time it took to bake a potato. The friskier the feelings, the bigger the potato. Now that does not read quite right, either.
Now, role swap; can you imagine telling your Mother about your exploits - at any time in your life?
My children have lived through similar conversations.

I had to check to make sure it wasn't my son who'd written the article. :)
