What's A Four Letter Word For...

Sunday, Easter

[Interior: The living room of Paul's parent's house]

Paul's Dad: (doing the weekend newspaper crossword) "What's a four letter word for great, wild sex?"
Me: "Paul. P-A-U-L"
[Laughter from future mom, dad, sister and brother in-laws]
Me: [internal dialog] Shit shit shit. Did I just say that out loud? Oh god, and to his parents? Why didn't I just blurt out "yoga" or something. Yes, yoga sex. Sounds like wild fun, doesn't it? Instead I said "Paul." And now his family thinks we have wild crazy monkey sex or something.
Paul: [kisses me on the cheek, slightly blushing but mostly beaming]
[Laughter begins to die down]
Paul's Mom: "You're going to buy her whatever she wants now, aren't you Paul?"
Paul: "Yes, yes I am."

Me: "Anyone up for a drink?"

ok boy Sis,
that comment makes a lasting impression. The great news is your being yourself. They will love the uncut Erika version and you never have to feel like you can't be yourself while visiting. That's what I love about my mother and father in law. I am who I am and they love me anyway. Or at least they say I their favorite daughter in law :)

Kiki: Very true. And as long as no one says "I do" at the wedding when the miniter asks if anyone objects...then we're good ;)
