Mostly because yes, I can be a bit of a perv. I giggle at inappropriate moments, and love 'that's what she said' jokes. The funny part is my parents know how to up the ante, and turn my immature snickers turn into embarrassed blushes.
The first example of this is when Boyfriend was visiting. We were playing some version of Carcassone, and my dad was explaining the jobs of all the different units. He starts talking about the Mariners when my grandma asks, "So that's what the sea men do?"
Yes, I giggled. Mom rolled her eyes and Dad gave me a look. So we continued.
Dad's almost done explaining the rules, and he says something like this to Boyfriend, "Right, then we tally up the points, and that's how you score." Before I could keep my mouth shut, I blurt, "I would think you wouldn't want him to score!"
Dad's comeback: "Well, he's scoring in front of your parents."
Yeah, I couldn't think of anything else to say after that.
Another time I was sitting in my parent's bed, and we were all talking. Now, we have a code in our family. 'Watching a movie' can mean two very very different things. It can mean enjoying a dvd, or it can mean... well... *ahem*. Being quite intimate.
So, I thought I was picking up on some subtle flirting on my parents' part, so I asked, "Do you guys want to watch a movie or something?"
At this point it's midnight.
Dad looks at the clock and sighs. "No, because by the time it's done, it'll be like 2 in the morning."
My response?
"I'm doing it wrong...."
Last one: I was bothering my parents, this time it was lunch time. (I find out later that they had actually WANTED to "watch a movie.") After they paid enough attention to me, I retreat back into my room.
Mom comes in, closing the door behind her. "Do you NEVER want me to watch a movie again?"
