I’m sure many people have walked in on their parents “doing it”. Although this may be not such a big deal to most of you, it was an absolutely terrifying experience for me. As an Asian child, my house is a wreck. We have only one bed room so all four of us have to share the bed. My parents usually go to sleep at about 11p.m (which is a little early for me) so I always get on my phone after that just to entertain myself since I don’t feel like going to sleep that early. So one night, as usual, after 11p.m, I opened my phone to text some friends. Of course, I was aware that I could get caught so I put some pillows and a blanket above me. My parents couldn’t see me at all. After a few minutes, I started to hear their whispers and some strange sounds. I peeked outside the blanket only to find my dad slowly removing his underwear. I was terrified knowing what was actually going on. We were basically on the same bed! I knew I shouldn’t interrupt so I took a deep breath and pretended like I was sleeping. Even though my plan worked, I couldn’t stop myself from hearing the moans and feeling the bed shaking in sync with the two moving bodies. It was too disgusting for me to witness. I started to feel my heart racing. Maybe it was because I was too scared that I would get caught or maybe because I wanted it to stop haunting me. This was one of the worst experiences of my life. I promised myself I would never bring this up to my family or anyone else and have tried to move on with my life and pretended this never happened ever since. Thank Lord they never caught me that night.
