Two Things That Are Grosser Than
Thinking About Your Parents Having Sex*
1.  Thinking about your grandparents having sex. My grandparents are old, wrinkly, religious, and ultra-conservative, as I imagine most grandparents are.  I certainly can't stomach thinking about them having sex now, but even if they had sex when they were young and attractive, it's kind of a stretch.

2.  Thinking about your kids having sex. Imagine that you have kids.  (This shouldn't be hard if you do.)  I mean, if you had taken care of this little person, wiped his/her ass, held him/her in your lap, etc., and then it (getting tired of that whole he/she slash business) grew up and started to run around having sex, that would be really fucking weird.

What brought this on:  I had to drive my dad's car the other day, and I accidentally left a copy of Bust magazine in it.  The magazine contained an article entitled "Blow Job tips from a Gay Man."  My father read it (!) and then told me with a sarcastic Dad-like smirk that he had enjoyed learning about blow jobs.  Naturally this grossed me the hell out/embarassed me to no end, and I indulged in a fit of squealing and ewwwwing.  My dad said, "Come on, Carrie, grow up."  And I replied, "Well, do you want to have to talk about sex with Granny and Grandpa?"  And my dad was like, "Ew.  But it's even weirder to think about you having sex."  Naturally I replied, "Oh, Dad, I'm a virgin."  "Yeah, right," Dad said.
