When RP-ing gets one into The Talk
Alright, so I'm well over 18 years old, single, still live at home and go to school.
Add to that that I RP in Pern based PbeM's. Which I love.
Now, in one of the two I play, my favourite character is married, she's 20 and couldn't be happier, because they're this sickingly sweet couple and have been together for a year. Yes, I know that that is acting rather quickly, but they have... circumstances, namely husband dearest constantly dangling on the edge of sanity.
Now, these two are going to try and have children, so I'm doing research on how to RP a pregnancy realistically. Que mom barging into my room, and looks at my computer screen which has huge, blinking, pink letters: "What to expect when pregnant".
Not good.
Mom: *blinks* *scrapes throat* "Don't you want to tell me something?" *meanwhile staring at screen as if watching a train-wreck, not able to look away*
Me: "What? ... Oh, that. No mom. Not really."
Mom: *doesn't look convinced* "You know your dad and I will support you in every decision you make?"
Me: "Mom, calm down. I'm not pregnant. Being gay kinda negates that effect."
Mom: "I've never been so glad to hear that. But why are you reading that?"
Me: "Gonna get a fictional character pregnant."
Mom: "Okay." *wanders of in a daze induced by thinking her teenage, single, still in High School daughter got pregnant.*
Note to self: this is worse then being caught reading slash. Much worse.
