In my case, my parents knew when I was as baked out of my gourd. They knew and purposely messed with me, which is just so bloody cruel. My parents would start talking to each other in front of me normally and then all of a sudden they’d slow their speech down to a halt and freeze for a second, and then resume their conversation normally like nothing happened. They’re special people, to say the least.

I’ve just started wondering a lot about that too. Whether my parents knew some of the stuff I did and chose to ignore it or they just never noticed. I mean, it was pretty obvious with a lot of crap I did but, I always thought I outsmarted them. I think what took the cake was that on my 20th birthday, my mom gave me a book on ‘godly’ courtship. I’d already been living with my boyfriend (now husband) for about 6 months or so. Though I think a lot of us would rather not know what our parents knew about us then.

I wondered if my parents knew about my drinking too. And then on my 21st birthday someone announced, “And now her first drink ever!” as they looked on proudly. Wow.

It is pretty easy not to see what you don’t want to acknowledge or deal with. My parents seemed to see everything and I am not sure that is better. I didn’t really do much experimenting because I knew I would be caught and punished. I often wonder what I missed out on.
