Is that an evil monkey in your closet or your parents having sex?


When I was a child, my room was right next to my parents room. I heard noises that scared the hell out of me. I had such an imagination that I thought there were wild monkeys outside, or that there were ghosts in my room. I remember pulling the covers over my head, burying my head in my pillow, plugging my ears until they went away.

I got married when I was 19 and had 2 kids by the time I was 20 so I couldn't keep my legs closed know what sex sounds like. One day, when I was about 25 or so, I was talking to my dad. Somehow we started talking about my childhood and my fears. I told him how I used to bury my head in my pillows because I thought evil monkeys were in my closet (or outside) or that my room was haunted. He grinned ear from ear and said "You mean to tell me you are 25, have 2 kids of your own and STILL haven't figured out that what you heard was your mother and I?"

I had to have years therapy after that. My doctor says I am doing well and the permanent look of horror on my face and spontaneous shuddering should be gone by the time I am 50.

Now that makes me laugh. I walked in on my parents once. EWWWWW!

My oldest's room is right next to ours, but luckily his closet is against our wall. Hopefully that will be a good buffer zone!

No way. Our parents? I'm calling my therapist.

Fortunately, I never walked in on them or heard them (that I can remember) but I saw my mom's diaphragm on the bathroom counter one time. I didn't know what it was until much later, though. EEEWWWW!

Mrs. Hall said...

yeah, my daughter has twice commented on the noise. The first time she came rushing in, saying, 'mommy are you okay???' look of panic on her face.

the second time she just yelled out from her room, she said, "WHY ARE YOU GUYS LAUGHING??? I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!!!".

very demanding and cute the little girl. Let's hope the fun doesn't morph into monkey nightmars. And yes, I would also have a look of horror on my face until I turned fifty if I figured out what you figured out when you did. :)

good luck!

Oh god. I dread the day one of my kids let's us know s/he heard us. That's the reason why I always make moaning noises whenever I enter the bedroom, so they're never really sure what's going on at any point in time. Yes, I am saving my pennies for their therapy bills.

I'm glad your spontaneous shuddering will end. I still have facial tics. My parents had 8 kids, so they had a full on jungle playground going on.

Skylers Dad said...

I saw a guy on Comedy Central doing a standup routine about that. He was saying nobody wants to imagine their parents doing it, and if so, only the one time they had you and that was it! Then he wrapped the mic cord around his hands like he was tied up and said nobody wants to imagine this! Whip me you stallion!!

Ha ha. Classic. Brings back memories of when I was 14, in the 'discovery' phase, and I start hearing my newly appointed step-monster and my dad banging on walls and screaming. It was horrific. Literally horrific. In fact, I know feel a little sick again.
