Today's thoughts.

Few people are comfortable talking about--or thinking about--their parents having sex with one another (or with anyone, for that matter).

This afternoon, I was waiting for my mother at my parents' house, and, not having brought anything with me to do, I turned on daytime TV just in time to watch a thrilling episode of Casino. In this particular episode, besides a murder occurring, an employee being mistaken for a prostitute, and a bikini contest being sabotaged by a contestant from the Mid-West, one of the main character's wives has a fit because she's pregnant, and her husband has too much work to do and is too stressed to have time to sleep with her. Wah, wah, wah.

But this got me to thinking--ugh, parents having sex. But it went further--dad poking mom while I'm the bun in the oven.

Dear God.
