Back before I was married, sometimes I would take a boyfriend up North to visit my grandparents. To save my <cough> virtue <cough>, they would have us sleep in separate guest rooms. But now that I’m married, they give us both the same room.

Mr. Laureth says that this is in case we want to (well, you know…), we are free to do so. He thinks it’s a great idea. Personally, I’m a little freaked out at the idea of engaging in adult activity in my old grandpa’s guest room! (What if my step-grandma, who has Alzheimer’s, walks in?)

What is the proper etiquette in this situation? Is the family giving us de facto permission to get down with our bad selves, or would the proper thing be to wait until we get home (or at least to the first rest stop on the freeway)?
