We were at The Cheesecake Factory today, sampling some birthday desserts with four forks while the kids discussed books they'd been reading.
McK: I was reading a Choose Your Own Adventure book, and I actually had a good ending!!
Casey: Really?
McK: Yeah, I survived the Titanic. The last three times, I died of pneumonia, got eaten by aliens, and had a sex drive.
Me *coughing*: A what?
McK: A sex drive... it means that you want to have sex.
Me *wondering what kind of Choose Your Own Adventure books our library HAS*: I'm aware of what it means... just didn't know YOU knew what it meant. *wondering if now would be a good time to stop this conversation... but thought I'd see where it went*
McK: I used to think it meant that you had sex in the car... but not while driving.
Me: Well sure, that seems like it might not be safe.
McK *thinking*: But... maybe it would be okay if someone did it FOR you... *pause* As long as you were wearing a seat belt. Mom, are you okay?
Me *forehead to the table, trying not to laugh*: Mmmhmm... Just remembering when all you wanted to know was why the sky was blue...
LOL, sounds like you lead an interesting life! Your work is cut out for you. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!!....giggling so hard!
ReplyDeleteOh no. Hahaha
ReplyDeleteBWAHAHAHAHA!!! I love your girls!! Did the book really have that as an ending though? LOL
ReplyDeleteahh, innocence. This is so cute and so funny!!!! I'm wondering also, what was the real ending?
ReplyDeleteOh goodness. Which CYOA book was this?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm on the "what kind of CYOA book has sex in it" bandwagon. Wondering what it really said.
ReplyDeletelol Sorry to leave you hanging... Sore throat, so I've been in bed all morning. It didn't EXACTLY say that it GAVE you a sex drive, but it did have the term. I forget what it was called, but it was a story on an Olympic runner or something like that. The end page had something about steroids, and then it detailed a few of the potential results of taking steroids, one of which was "a decreased sex drive." Which wasn't quite as bad... but still not something I expected my kid to take away from reading one of those books! lol
