C3's views on SEX!!.....

This weekend C3 was in top form
(for those who do not know C3 is my 8yr old son)
Friday night C3 had a friend over, 
so while they were playing in his room
G and I lit some candles, opened a bottle of wine and 
cuddled on the couch listening to music....
C3 came in to nvestigate
not impressed that G and I are cuddling
C3: Is there a power shortage?
Irini: no!...
C3: then why are the candles lit?
Irini: for a romantic atmosphere!
C3: ah ok (giving me dirty look...translation I do not like my father and you being affectionate)

an hour later when his friend left
C3 came to the kitchen to ask me
C3: mama were you and my father having sex?
I: What?!!!! No ....
C3: Dont you think you are both a bit old for sex now????

I think I not only wet myself from laughter  I also cried....
So are you too old????
