06 April 2007

always hide the evidence On Sunday I am expecting anywhere from 10-20 members of my immediate family over for Easter luncheon. So today as I was beginning to clean I found, er, something incriminating, on my bedroom windowsill.[More:]

An ex of mine was over Wednesday and we got... somewhat nostalgic. And in the course of some damn fine nostalgia I didn't notice that my ex put a tube of lube, a used vanilla-flavoured condom and the wrapper for it on the windowsill behind the roman blinds. Thank heavens I found them before Sunday. Imagine if I'd taken people (i.e., my mother, one of my little nieces) up to my newly decorated room on Sunday and I or they had decided to raise the blinds.

I was also afraid of this sort of thing when I moved back in December and my mother helped. I did my best to keep her out of my room. I didn't know what would be worse — for her to find my stash of toys and contraceptives or to have her see that they were mostly out of date.

Anyway... must go bake my sour cream posy rolls for Sunday.
mmmmmmm sour cream posy rolls sound fabulous :)

I was worried when we moved in December that my mom or one of my kids would find "our" stuff, but luckily my husband had the foresight to pack it all up himself and leave it in his car during the move. I'm just happy he didn't get rear ended.

Is that what the kids are calling it these days? Anyway, don't forget to hide the evidence before your family comes over....

Heh, a few weeks ago my daughter asked "what's in that drawer?" I think we need to find a locking toy chest.

Yes, but how does he feel about that?

Oh, I've got a funny related story.

My friend "Maura" has been separated for nearly two years now - her husband cheated on her and walked out of their marriage. About seven months ago she met a nice man and has been seeing him ever since. He hasn't met her children and they didn't know about him. Maura figured they were already having such a hard time dealing with the divorce that she'd like to give them some more time before introducing them to her boyfriend.

Then just before Christmas Maura's thirteen-year-old daughter "Aurora" was home alone and decided to have a look through her mother's room to see if Mom had any Christmas presents stashed away. Aurora didn't find any presents, but she did find a condom and a love letter from Maura's boyfriend.

Aurora is very volatile and she just hit the roof. She ripped up the letter and told her father about Maura's boyfriend. In one way I do feel sympathetic towards Aurora because I can understand how horrifying it must have been to her to discover such a thing, but on the other hand, I don't, because Aurora should not have been going through her mother's room and definitely should never have destroyed one of her mother's belongings. Maura had a fine line to walk between being sympathetic and punishing Aurora for her wrongdoings.

Oh, and Maura's ex, who, again, cheated on Maura, and is seeing two women at present, said to Maura, "I'm not sure I'm ready to have you date anyone yet."

!!!!!!

It's all very Canadian gothic, really.

My mom met my wife's panties before she met my wife. She's one of those mothers who cleans your place to her satisfaction when she visits, despite having been asked not to several times.

We had a similar embarrassing moment a few years ago. We accidentally left a bottle of lube on the nightstand in our spare room when our friends, the infamous Rob-the-EMT and his girlfriend, came for the weekend. Course, Rob thanked jon later and said they had some "wild sex" with it. Ah well. Share and share alike.

Parents of Young Children: Lock it up! With a key!

Before we were 10 years old, we'd been through every shoe box of old love letters stashed on the back of the top shelf in our parent's closet.

The only place we didn't get into right away was the metal box with the numerical lock. But my brother did eventually methodically increment through the 99999 numbers and get it open. (It had a hand gun in it.)

He was pissed that the combination was like 98632 or some such, and said next time he did that he'd start high and work low.
