Primo: Did I ever tell you what I did with the dirty books?
Me: No!
Primo: I put them in small box, closed it, and dropped it in a dumpster at a shopping center.
Me: Oh.
Primo: I did keep two little paperbacks - I wanted to see what my dad was reading.
Me: What was it?
Primo: One is called "The Sexually Aggressive Male."
Me: And?
Primo: I haven't read it. But it's bothersome to think that his sexual prowess was something he was proud of. That he thought that was one of his primary characteristics.
Me: Did your mom think so?
Primo: Maybe sometimes, but as they got older, she wondered why it was such a priority for him.

This entire saga, since the death of Primo's parents, has caused much discussion around here. We have established that I really do need to talk with my father about his plans/wishes, and soon, because it's not going to get any less awkward after he dies.
ReplyDeleteWe have also established that my husband (whom Dad like's better anyway) will be the one to dispose of Dad's massive porn collection. It's been an embarrassment my whole life, I'll be damned if I get stuck dealing with it after he's gone.
Can I tell you how happy I am that all of our drama has not been for nothing? I truly do not want anyone else to go through all of this - except maybe Ted, because he is such a jerk and deserves to deal with crap.
