Re: 2 and 3

2. Well, not really...but kinda. My parents were 60s hippies going to college in Berkeley who grew up and became nice suburbanites where Mom stayed at home for the most part and Dad went to work in a tie every day and is now Somebody. Mom got her 2nd Masters when my brother entered junior high and is now an elementary school counselor working with inner city kids. They're still pretty liberal though (and that description is pretty one-dimensional and not altogether fair, but it will do.)

Case in point: when I turned 15, it was at the height of the AIDS scare in this country, and Dad bought an enormous assortment of condoms and put them in the linen closet in big box. He then told my brother and me that he didn't know how many were there and didn't want to but that we should take anything we wanted if we were even thinking about having sex.

3. I think you just implied my purse made me a lemming. Bite me!
