Just disallowed my 86 year old mom from reading a book.....

[mrmpa]

I download ebooks from the library onto a notebook, for my mom to read. She only likes the author Debbie Macomber, so that's all I download. I inadvertently downloaded a book by another author.

. I was looking over mom's shoulder when she started to read it. The first few sentences were "He took his tongue and encircled her nipple" along with other actions.

I said "No mom, let's find something else to read." Mom said "you'll delete it won't you." I told her yes I would. I'm not a prude & neither is mom. But it was a fun interaction with her.

1. She's already downloaded it again.

[dilby]

2. Ha my mom is 68 and she keeps recommending dirty books to me.

She says it will make my girlfriend happy. I remember when 50 shades of Grey came out and she called me from the porn store to tell me they were selling a 50 Shades of Grey starter pack which included a butt plug. At the time I was not sure what was worse, my mother reading 50 Shades of Grey, my mother being in a prom store or my mother knowing what a butt plug was.

[mrmpa]

3. That is too.............

funny

[The Second Stone]

4. prom store -- hee hee

dirty typos are funny.

7. Oh, child.

What do you think the kids were up to in the 60's? Ever seen a pic of your mom in a miniskirt and go-go boots?

9. LOL, they forget we were young once.

What do they think went on at Woodstock 47 years ago? Free love Baby!

[malthaussen]

10. It's the same for every generation, though.

Who of ours pictured their grandmothers as Flappers and their mothers as V-Girls?

-- Mal

[WinkyDink]

24. I know! Some young-uns think we were 66 fifty years ago and watched Lawrence Welk!

[progressoid]

19. Bwahahaha.

[Laffy Kat]

5. Hey, a little smut never hurt anyone. nt

[mrmpa]

11. Mom has a defibrillator..........

so it might have hurt.

[OriginalGeek]

6. Lol

we bought my wife's aunt a tablet and set her up with the kindle app linked to our account. She's over 80.

One day my wife called me up laughing so hard she couldn't speak. Aunt had accidentally bought something called Hard and Hairy because she thought it was a nature book on actual bears.


That's her story and she's sticking to it.

8. She might have found it interesting.

[Aristus]

28. I'll never forget how shocked I was when I discovered that my

Ultra-ultra-conservative Southern Baptist grandmother knew the word 'sex'.

[rurallib]

12. she'll just sneak it when you're not around

she learned that from you

[Skittles]

13. you want I should kick your censoring ass, mrmpa?

yes INDEED

[mrmpa]

14. No...........

the look from mom was enough.

[baldguy]

15. In college I worked in the customer service department at Harlequin Books.

There was always a certain percentage of the calls from old ladies complaining about the racy nature of the books.

Then there was a similar number of old ladies complaining that they weren't racy enough.

[mainer]

16. At 86, she's certainly encountered plenty of tongues and nipples

let her re-live a few memories, why don't ya?

[jrandom421]

17. You actually got away with telling your mother she couldn't read what she wanted?

Mine would have taken the e-reader, smacked me in the face with it several times, told me to buy her a new Surface Pro and told me in no uncertain terms that I would NEVER decide what she reads, or anything else, until she signs over the durable power of attorney.

[mrmpa]

18. Yes, I did.............

don't know how that happened. She has been throwing compliments my way, which is real different. I did ask her a couple of days ago about the incident. Her response was that it wasn't Debbie Macomber & to download her some books asap. 2 became available yesterday & she has found bliss with those.

[cwydro]

21. Mine too.

She's 90.

I wouldn't dare.

[progressoid]

20. I remember watching Risky Business with my Grandmother on TV.

I was about 22 and she was in her late 70's.

When it was over she said, "well that was a fun movie wasn't it?"

[OriginalGeek]

23. the last movie my grandma ever went to in a theater was E.T.

She thought if Hollywood was making movies THAT racy then she wanted no part of it. (Language was the overarching issue but, in particular, Drew Barrymore, practically a baby, saying "penis" was beyond the line.)

[progressoid]

29. ET? Racy?

She would have been really shocked by the first R rated movie my Dad took me to. Serpico. I was 10 years old!

[OriginalGeek]

30. Grandma was not much for salty talk

I was grown man with kids and she was in her 70s when I first heard her say "damn" and then she was just quoting something someone else had said.


I learned to cuss from my other grandma.

[Kaleva]

22. I've known a few late 60s+ women who were very frisky

[lame54]

25. Shakespeare is dirtier than that

[hollysmom]

26. pfft 68 is nothing now let me tell you about when my mother was in her 80's

mom was no prude, I was quite the prude compared to her, still one day I though I bought a video of America Beauty because she loved that kind of drama (or so I Thought she always made me watch dramas when I was young) but I really got American pie - Well it started playing and I got up to change it since it was not the movie I thought but then I heard my mother laughing like I Hadn't hard her laughing in years, so I let it play, she just thought it was the best movie she had seen in years. She really enjoyed it so much, I was just happy to bring that joy into her life, she died a few months later, but she did tell others about this funny movie I had at my house.

[Kaleva]

27. Don't let her read the Bible

Ezekiel 23:20

She lusted after lovers with genitals as large as a donkey's and emissions like those of a horse.
