Traffic Signs

So yesterday, as I was cooking dinner, Aaron comes in to share some Family Feud videos on  his iTouch. Since I am busy cooking, I offer to listen with him. He plays several episodes which were funny. But there was one that got my attention. The topic was: "What traffic sign best describes your love life?" The first response was "Stop Sign". Okay. expecting that one. So while the host, Steve Harvey was consoling the guy who gave the answer, I remembered a sign I once saw and so randomly yell out "Speed Hump". Aaron froze. His mouth fell open and he stared at me. He yelled, "MOM!". I looked up from my cooking asked "what?". Aaron said, "Ewwwww! I don't need to know your sign for your sex life!". I told him that wasn't MY sex life, it was a sign I remembered seeing...near a church. It didn't matter. The damage was done. Aaron was totally mortified. Who knows what images he had conjured up in his mind. I didn't ask. At that point Sal came home. Aaron regales him with the recent episode. He exclaims, "I can't believe some of the things that come out of mom's mouth. I don't expect these things from her." Sal was busy laughing and didn't say much until I said, "For example: Watch For Falling Rocks." This time, they both froze, stood there with their mouths open, starring.

What? Actual signs. Yes, even Speed Hump.
