I am all for being green. I love the beauty of the environment, and I definitely think that farmer’s market food is better than the under-ripe stuff you buy at the supermarket chains. Other than that though, I’m not much of an environmentalist.
My wife, on the other hand, is totally into the whole, organic, slow cooked, home garden movement…thing. She’s even reading this book, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle:
Where does the Turkey Porn part come in? She was reading this book and wanted to share something with me. I was engrossed in something else (probably writing for this blog), and wasn’t listening. She insisted, and after a while, I gave in and listened. She then went on to read, from the book, about how Barbara Kingsolver tried to get her turkeys to have sex. It was a mystery to her as to why they wouldn’t breed, and she described, in great detail, trying to get the turkeys in every sort of…um, well, position, that she could think of.
Apparently five years ago there were no turkey sex manuals available. Of course, now there are turkey sex manuals all over.
We were both laughing so hard that it hurt.
Lesson? Be interested in what your spouse is interested in, even if it’s just in passing. These are the moments that make for great memories.
I wonder if I could use this to my advantage when I have to talk with my sons about sex.
You see son, when a daddy turkey loves a momma turkey, they experience special feelings ...
On second thought, go ask your mom.
