In my family it always comes from the grandmas. No detail is ever spared on how eating that will cause their gastro-intestinal problems so if grandma can't eat she'll try to make sure nobody else wants to eat it either!
Men don't talk about things like that. Hmm, usually they don't at least not my husband or any of the men in my family but one time I was at a restaurant and a guy pushed his chair out stood up and announced "It's time for my afternoon dump!" When he came back from the restroom he announced "That was the world's greatest dump!" so yeah guys can say gross stuff too.
I've never really talked about that time of the month but yeah sometimes I let people know when it is that time of the month.
I don't really have any stand-out moments here.
(After just sitting down at the table someone said)
Let me help push in your stool.
My idiot father talking about infected wounds he saw while in the army or POW tortures during WW II.
I guess it's better than pushing out the stool when at the table.
I've never heard infested wound stories at the dinner table. The closest thing my grandmas ever came to that were surgery stories but grandma did pull up her blouse to show everyone the scar!
You did not hear such talk because you never dined with the world's most stupid man, my father. He'd bring this topic up very repeatedly. When my mom would stop him, he's snarl his stupid face and say, "Aw, Christ".
Why would you want to hear that? How gross is that?
Your dad sounds awesome.
