My mum is great!
With one exception:

That sex ed talk at age 14. You know the one - you're sat playing on your N64 and she siddles in and the tiny alarm bell goes off in your head but you think, "No, my mum is too laid back for this...". And it happens. The, "You have started bringing girls back now so I think we should have a chat..." chat.

Fuckity wanking hell this is awkward. And the truly low point of the conversation: my mum uttering this which will haunt me forever. "You know, girls can still get pregnant even without penetrative sex [OMG my mum just said 'penetrative' - floor swallow me know] so please just be careful".

My dad's advice however shows the gender differnce nicely:
*lowers paper* "As long as you use protection and I don't hear you, go nuts!".

Haha shush
N64 is the height of gaming.

In my day
the height of gaming was Monopoly.

Congratulations Legless
You've just dreamt up the one thing his Mum could've said to make that conversation even more awkward
