When recently asked from where he gets his oddball sense of humor, “Transformers” star Shia LeBeouf casually reveals that he got it “seeing his parents have sex”. This, of course, after his previous comment that “Probably the sexiest woman I know is my mother … I would be with my mother now, if she weren’t my mother, as sick as that sounds,” casts a very strange light on what the upbringing of this actor must have been like.
Now, not to defend him too stoutly, but keep in mind that he said “seeing” and not “watching”. He might be referring to a single incident, rather than a continued practice. It might have been for a few seconds only. We don’t know, and frankly, I don’t think we want to know. But it does bring up a good question: if you’re ever caught in the act by your child, how do you manage damage control?
If you’re lucky, you’ll both be under the covers, and noisemaking will be to a minimum. You might then just say that the two of you were play/wrestling. If you’re more exposed, you might get away with “tickling“.
However, if you were the subject of a prolonged observation, you may want to break down and explain all about the birds and the bees. As long as you focus on the act being something that comes from your love of each other, you should be okay. The issue here, of course, is that your little one may go back to school and tell his friends all about what he’s learned, which may not be entirely appropriate.
The best course is just to ensure that you and your spouse/lover are entirely discreet. Trying to be quiet and restrained can be just as much fun in its own way as being loud and uninhibited!
