My parents were virgins.
At twenty-two, even then it was unusual.
and although Dad was known as a skirt chaser around the women’s dorm,
he visited women in order to get some food,
because he was living on his stipend.
At first he visited Mom also in order to eat.
And when at the school they started talking about a possible wedding,
someone slipped her a copy of
„How a Girl Becomes a Woman.”
Mom threw it out unopened.
It was scary for them to make me.
It was weird for them to make me.
It was painful for them to make me.
It was funny for them to make me.
And I absorbed:
Life is scary.
Life is weird.
Life is painful.
Life is very funny.
