No worries lol. It etched itself into my memory. Just like the one time when I was like 9 and I tried to explain to my parents why I hated getting vaccinated:
"I just don't like the feeling of someone poking a foreign object in my body and squirting a liquid in me" (yeah I know, I was innocent)
And my Dad deadass said
"Oh one day you'll like it" and winked at my mum.
And then the penny dropped.
Most embarrassing thing that ever happen to me was when I was about 17.
My parents bedroom was our 2nd living room. I went in to talk to my mom and watch TV with her. She was on the couch in there I sat on the bed. Right infront of the bed by about 8 feet was their bathroom. Beside the door was the tv.
Just as the show came back on from its commercial break my Dad opens the door to the bathroom blocking the tv which makes your eyes draw straight to him and he was flat out naked and wet from a shower he said WHERE ARE ALL THE TOWELS?
I screamed slapped my hands over my face fall back off the bed and onto the floor. My mom said get your clothes on!
My dad said if she didn't want to see my peaker than she better stay her ass out of my room.
Than went back into the bathroom and slammed the door.
I thank GOD to this day I covered my eyes fast enough.
Ok. Maaayyybe it's a European thing... but we grew up with being naked around each other inside the family occasionally. Like, seeing someone getting in or out of the shower, on the hunt for forgotten underwear... for us that's normal.
It would be different if I was a boy but I am a girl and his only daughter. Lol
I mean I seen my mom with out clothing lol but never my dad or brothers. Or any male relitive for that matter.
My brothers never seen any of my female relitives with out clothing.
... well actually there was that one time when my grandmother started to strip naked in the living room right infront of my 2nd youngest brother.
And the time my youngest brother was helping clean my parents bed room and my mom waved her shirt she was wearing to let air under it and she forgot she wasn't wearing a bra. So she flashed him. He just slapped his hands over his eyes and literally rolled out of the room.
Than when my mom took him to see our aunt she told her the story and my aunt said " what is the big deal they are just boobs? See!" And flashed him. He ran out of her house screaming. Lmfao but that is it.
igot3bodyproblems I'm European too and all of family finds super weird that my elder sister walks around naked in front of her children and sometimes even their friends sometimes so I wouldn't say it's a European thing.
Haha @mrscollector I love your stories, was kinda hoping to provoke some of you with that post :D
When I was a child we were also quite comfortable with nudity, no matter the gender or parent/child. Just as I got older we grew out of it, but my parents also got divorced when I was 11.
But we were also one of those weird kiss-on-the-lips-families.
My cousins are American and apparently when they were kids there was pretty much an open-door bathroom policy in their household. We got to learn about this when me and some of my family went down to visit and the kids started walking into bathrooms when we were in them and striking up conversations
When I was 10, I didn't know that much English yet and asked my mum for "Ice Wear" by All-4-One for my birthday...
She still managed to get the right CD.
My cringiest memory was watching a movie with my mom when I was 8, a dirty joke came up, I got it but didn't laugh because it would have been awkward (I was a precocious child but I knew I wasn't supposed to get sex jokes so I used to play dumb whenever someone made one). Well I was in for an awkwarder time when my mom paused the movie and said "Now I explain, because you didn't understand" and she did explain in excruciating detail. That and frequent warning about how "boys only want one thing" were "the talk" for me and it was so horrifyingly uncomfortable to hear.
Bonus point: she was wrong about the joke. I don't remember it, but I do remember thinking "...the hell, she didn't get it" and rewatching the same movie a few years later confirming my first interpretation.
I have no idea how I ever learned about sex (or how the hell I was born for that matter) because I've had to explain to my mother what wanker, muff/muff-diving, doggy-style, skanks, bukkake, circle-jerk, cougar, is, along with pretty much any other term you can think of.

I guess my family's equivalent of this was my dad having to explain to her that "Night Moves" by Bob Seger was not, in fact, about dancing at night. I also had to explain to her that "Take Me To Church" by Hosier has absolutely nothing to do with actual church
