The Girl and I are driving in the car:
Me: If it weren’t for the sex in the book, I’d let you read The Vampire’s Seduction. You’d like it.
Girl: THAT’s in there?
Me: Yeah.
Girl: Is that why I can’t read your books. You write THAT?
Me: Uh-huh.
Girl: Mom…(fairly horrified)
Me: Me, and Rhonda, and Vicki, and Rita, and Stephanie. We all have sex in our books. It’s not the only thing the book’s about, but it’s in there.
Girl: That’s sick! That must be why your books have those covers.
Me: Well, yeah it is. And it’s not sick, it’s just age inappropriate.
Girl: No, Mom. It’s sick!
