A random question from my granddaughter when I was looking after her and her co-triplets at the weekend.
Just a thought for a damp Monday.

About Me
I live with my husband in Devizes in Wiltshire where I spend my time writing, reading, riding (I am the lucky owner of a beautiful horse, Blue), and keeping up with my four children and an increasing number of small grandchildren (eight so far). I was for many years a nurse and a Relate counsellor. I have taught creative writing both at a local college and a prison, and I review a wide variety of items - including books - for the Amazon Vine programme.I write to death row prisoners in America, being a life-long opponent jof the death penalty. And I spend too much time blogging..
My Books
Below are the books I have written.
Ruth Robinson's Year of Miracles
Women Behaving Badly
Dead Ernest
Cassandra's Secret
What was your answer?
ReplyDeleteI think it was something to the effect that sex can be as loud as you want to make it!
DeleteIt is when I get the chance. I woke a block of flats this weekend. I've never been quiet but less so when I'm happy.....Why does your granddaughter ask? Just tell them making babies is a noisy messy job and men aren't to be trusted they go to sleep after. The lady will have troubled sleep for at least two years. Twenty years if the result is a son. She will be back where she started. I don't know why you do it. Triplets are rare. Unless you pay megga bucks to the wrong person.
ReplyDeleteYour waking the block of flats reminded me of a lovely young couple I was counselling (for Relate). I suggested they share a bath. Theyhad such a good time, they woke up all the nighbours.
DeleteI too would like to know your answer!
ReplyDeleteSee above, Frances!
DeleteIf I remember correctly, it certainly could be, when I was younger, although variable, depending on who else was in the house.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you tell the triplets? Inquiring minds want to know.

Answer above! We learnt to be very quiet in the early days of our marriage; paper-thin walls and squeaky bed.
DeleteHow old is your referred-to granddaughter?
ReplyDeleteTwelve. But qutie a young twelve, although fascinated by the whole subject of sex. Her siblings couldn't care less.
DeleteI'd like to know what made her ask.
ReplyDeleteYour guess is as good as mine, Meike. It was totally random.
DeleteWow - what a great question. Like the answers above!
ReplyDeleteI thought the question was very succinctly put, Rosemary!
DeleteSo you didn't send her round to the neighbours for their opinion?
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't. Damn.
DeleteOut of the mouths of babes .... I remember asking a male relative of mine, 'What's rape?' when I was about 11. He giggled and told me to go and find a dictionary. I found out it was a bright yellow crop and didn't understand for ages.
ReplyDeleteJust as well
