Have Your Children Walked In on You

Shia Labeouf has told Parade magazine that he actually saw his parents having sex and believes it made him a better actor. Now, as far as I know, my children have never walked in or seen us having sex. I cannot say that about my own childhood and I think many others are in my shoes. How many of you can remember walking in on your parents? Something tells me it was a quick escape and something never mentioned right?

In Shia’s case he believes his humor came from his childhood:
“seeing my parents have sex, smoke weed, my mom being naked … [and] twisted R-rated humor.”
“The good actors are all screwed up. They’re all in pain. It’s a profession of bottom-feeders and heartbroken people.”
I guess that’s one way to look at walking in on your parents. Now, I must ask, if your child has ever walked in on you….what did you do?
My kids have never walked in on me – they know not to come in when the door is closed. I never walked in on my parents, but I did hear my mom and my stepdad. Very, very uncomfortable.
I read that article today. Shia is a lot edgier then he looks. Never walked in my parents (or if I did it is conveniently blocked from my conscious memory!)
I never walked in on my parents and my kids have never walked in on me.
