BOOM SHAKALAKA

Nancy's Notes đŸ–ŠïžđŸŽ¶

My parents fought just about all the time; from breakfast until Dad left for work they would argue about something, then they’d start in again after dinner. 

I’d hear them arguing while I did my homework; at night while trying to get to sleep I would hear other noises coming from my parent’s bedroom which were pretty loud but they definitely weren’t fighting and the next morning they were all smiles – go figure.  

Then one day my friend’s older sister told us we had to have a talk; she was 12 years old and already wearing a bra with a C cup so we paid attention. That was the infamous day we learned about S-E-X and boy, was that an eye-opener! 

I was a pretty curious and precocious child so after that talk I figured out darn quick what those noises were from Mom and Dad’s bedroom at night and why they were always so happy the next morning after one of their big arguments.  

Right then and there I promised myself when I got married I would fight with my husband as often as I could; I mean, if Mom and Dad were that happy every morning, there had to be something to this S-E-X thing after all.

  4. A very well done Six. You’ve reminded me of a line in C.S. Lewis’s novel, The Horse and His Boy. Toward the end, he notes that Shasta and Aravis argued and made up, and argued and made up, and got used to doing it, and did it so often that when they did finally grow up, they got married so as to go on doing it more conveniently.

  6. Not that I my focus is easily drawn away from the simple and straightforward, i.e. a fun Six with just the right amount of extra inference in your on-the-money choice of video.
    But!
    Lol
    If I might submit an additional ‘boom shakala’ in the form of Was(Not Was)’s ‘walk the Dinosaur ‘

  9. In this day and age, a 12-year-old girl in a C cup is sadly all too common (all the hormones in the food, I think). In our day, 12-year-old girls looked more like the redhead with the pigtails in the picture, who looks a lot like my cousin Kathy when she was 12, pigtails and all….

    1. You got that right, John! They all seem to be in a rush to grow up, which is really a shame. My 12 yr old grandson has a “girlfriend”. According to my son it’s “kinda serious”; I just hope they all remember he still needs time to be a kid. As Grammy, I only have so much say in the matter
