Well that was a bad idea....

my parents, both in their 70s, visited me this week.

One day we were sitting around, and I turned on the TV. I had Tivo'ed a comedy special I thought they'd enjoy.

It was Wanda Sykes. I'd never seen her standup - just seen her on talk shows.

Well...

while I thought she was funny as hell, she was also filthy as hell. Really really filthy. Now my folks aren't terribly uptight, but even *I* knew they weren't comfortable. After about 40 minutes, I asked if they'd like to watch something else. They were very quick to answer "yes".

Note to self: Tivo some "Everybody Loves Raymond" for the next time they visit.

2. An older friend of mine asked to listen to a LaWanda Page CD I had

because she loved Sanford And Son and though Aunt Esther was a hoot; not knowing that LaWanda was even filthier than Redd Foxx onstage, she learned quickly after the first few minutes....

I don't know anything about her. I'll have go a-googling.

3. I once watched Chapelle's Show in front of my 87 year old grandmother.

Awkward.
