I don't want to know if you screw like bunnies or sleep in separate beds.

Well, the favorite Wang is back from Florida.*  As Ching took them out to dinner to give me some space, I stopped into Whole Foods to get some sushi.  As I was also picking up my favorite magazine, I saw the recent cover of People.  It's the blond bachelor with his chosen chick (who looks kind of dirty) claiming that they are waiting until marriage.  I squint at the cover and then roll my eyes.  I don't read the article, I just cast judgment.

First of all, I don't want to know about some one's sex life---I don't care if you are pretty or gross.  Honestly, if you are pretty, I will be jealous and if you are gross, I will be nauseous.   I don't want to know if you screw like bunnies or sleep in separate beds.  I don't care what turns you on or off.  Please keep it to yourself--sometimes, less is more.

Secondly, why in God's name would you wait?  I am firmly in the camp that if you are buying a car, it needs to have a test drive.  I know that sex is a major part of a relationship---what if it's always bad?  This isn't the movies when magically everything is better.  Marriage takes work and I can't imagine "making sex better" on the list of tasks to work on.

I am not going to tell my girls to go out and have tons of sex.  But I am not going to yell with a shrill voice to stay away from that one eyed snake.  I am going to guide them as much as possible and assume that they will make good choices mixed in with some utterly stupid mistakes (after the age of 22).  Regardless of what I tell them , Rachel will do the opposite.

Getting back to those people on magazine cover, honestly, I don't think they are really going to wait.  Like I said...she looks dirty and I think she needs more than soap.

*Listen to this one.  As I am driving Ching home from the airport, he told me that he couldn't get up this morning so he skipped the first workshop.  He wasn't sick or hungover...he just was really, really tired.  So after 3 glorious nights at a very nice hotel with pristine, baby soft linens, he was too tired to get out of bed at 6:40.  I feel like I should start popping the corn now.  Tomorrow morning is going to be quite a show.
