Yes, I know it's been 2 months since my last post. It's not for lack of trying. I *think* about posting much more frequently than I actually post. Does that count?
Awhile back we spent the day over at the in-laws. Luckily I get along well with them so this is not a painful event. I do consider myself lucky in that regard.
Anyway, we are over there and I get into a conversation with my father-in-law about e-readers. He had bought a tablet recently and wanted to know if I had ever read an electronic book on my iPad. So, excitedly, I pulled out my iPad and demonstrated to him that I had a Kindle app. I opened it up quickly not thinking and of course it immediately opens up the book I am currently reading: 50 Shades of Grey. Oops. I then closed it quickly but it was too late....
FIL: Oh! Reading a little bit of S&M I see!
Me: Uhhhhh.....ya......little bit
FIL: I've heard all about it
Me: Uhhhh...ummmm.....it's not that great. It is poorly written (this is my attempt to move the conversation away from the subject of the book)
FIL: Well S&M is very popular now as a result
Me: Ummmm....oh. Is that right?
FIL: Yup. Those sex shops are selling out of all their S&M stuff
Me: Wow. Interesting.
FIL: You know that reminds me of the family trip we took one summer
Me: <Blank Stare>
FIL: Yup. Super Husband and I stopped for gas and when we went inside to pay the back of the gas station was a sex shop. FULL of S&M.
Me: I'm surprised Super Husband never mentioned that fond memory
Father-in-law then proceeded to call Super Husband into the conversation to ask if he recalled the S&M store. Apparently he did not. Thank goodness the conversation ended there. At this point we gathered the kids and left for home.
