Parents

 

So they will not be able to hear our bodies against each other, we turn on the TV. Since we do not usually watch the TV, it occurs to us that the TV suggests we are making noise that requires a TV to cover up. We turn the TV off, and make sure to be very quiet. Then we think about the quiet and how it will sound downstairs, so we begin to talk. Our conversation sounds forced, so we try to make it seem more natural. By now, our clothes are back on. From downstairs, they repeat their questions for us, louder this time. We ask them to come upstairs, so we can answer the questions in greater depth and show them something in the room that is relevant to the conversation. But they will not come upstairs, though there is such a short distance to travel. This makes us angry and ashamed, although our clothes are on now and nothing strange has happened.
