Talk about a line

[SweetPrettyAss]

emap and Vermillion are right, a lot of us who've been around a bit longer have very clear memories of the training instilled by our mothers...Don't Ever Call a Boy, Always Wait to Be Asked, etc., etc. I'd like to think that things had improved, but it would not surprise me if there were still a lot of contradictory, yea even PA attitudes on the part of guys out there.

I was lucky enough that my mother didn't try to teach me such old-fashinoned ways. She and my father always told me to be all that I could be, even before the Army adopted the slogan. They also told me to go after what I wanted. I've had a lot of good times that I would have otherwise missed out on.

My "Sweet Loving" parents both told me that I should always be polite, agreeable and "obedient" because then boys would like me and I'd get married sooner.

Oooops. That didn't work out well now did it?. Needless to say, Amy isn't their favorite Son in Law.

Thinking back on my adolescence I'm reminded of my half-aunt. She was my dad's half-sister (there maybe a story here), it was her birthday. I was twelve I think, she was 16. And hot. My grandfather had divorces my dad's mother and married a younger woman.

Well anyway at her birthday party she grabbed my hand and took me into the bathroom, took my head in her hands and kissed me. To say I was shocked!

But the lust started to rise and I said to her, "Can we try that again?" She said sure and five minutes later we were still in a lip lock. If her girl friends hadn't been in the other room I'm sure it would have gone a lot further.

We didn't get over there much so the next time I saw here was as she was leaving for college.

My mother is very conservative, almost a cardboard cutout of what the 50's woman was supposed to be, except that she's not terribly sane -- think June Cleaver with a personality disorder.

She didn't just teach me that it was the man's role to do the asking; she taught me to be so passive that I would ask for NOTHING from anyone. (It was so bad that when I was 23, I couldn't ask for my paycheck from the secretary whose job it was to hand them out. Seriously -- I'd go to her office and make small talk until she thought of it on her own.) Ask a boy for a date? Surely that could never, ever happen.

Well, it did take a while to unlearn that, but once I did, I really did. That's the great thing about parents who are total wack jobs -- once you realize that they're total wack jobs, you can be anything you want to be, because everything they've ever told you is suspect.

I don't know what Hot Mama's parents 'taught' her but when she decided who she wanted, she took direct action and the next thing I knew, I was married!

I never listened to my mom anyway. Well probably not enough if you ask her, to much I think. I do know how to cook, and I can sew a teeny tiny bit, but otherwise everything she said went in one ear and out the other.

To be honest there were times when I wished I had listened to her more. Being forward sometimes gets you really bad boyfriends, though it all worked out really well in the end anyway.

Anyway back to Firefly, I agree that was a great series, and should be picked up again or have more movies.

*raises eyebrow* So I guess this means you're always ready?

Getting that close to a bear never seemed wise ... though one could make an exception in your case.

Actually, I slept with a stuffed dog. (This would surprise no one who knows me well. )
