i mentioned to cp to other day that i watch a couple of shows with my mom every week (rome and arrested development, and six feet under before it went off air). strange that we should both like these, i grant you, and stranger still in that the hbo shows are pretty adult, not really the stuff of mother-son bonding (one would think more along the lines of the radio programs minz and her dad listen to). even AD gets naughtier by the week. moms, i think, will always see their kids as being about nine years old, no matter how old they are. my mom tells me that when she was still living in england her dad used to make them cross the road if he saw anyone ahead of them making out. they'd also have to change the channel to the news every time anything remotely sexual came on. just one generation, and look what remarkable strides we've made.
