Sounds like something my grandma would say, are we maybe cousins?? My grandma has said such things to me: your grandpa proposed in the back of a car, your mother conceived on New Years Eve after having too much to drink, and your grandpa and I have naked races around the house.

Why just this weekend grandma gave me, my sister and one of my cousins advice on “how to not get pregnant”.
Were we expecting the abstainance talk? Yes. Instead, Grandma advised using the “rhythm method and sex angels”. And yes, even at 89 years old, she’s still sharp as a tack.
January 12, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Sex angels? I am intrigued…
January 12, 2009 at 4:37 pm
They were some sort of angel statues (2 of them) and my Grandmother said you turned them facing back-to-back when you didn’t want to get pregnant. I’m pretty sure it was luck and the “rhythm method” that kept her from becoming pregnant, not the sex angels…
January 12, 2009 at 4:46 pm
This one is just cute. I am wondering if the poster thought the Grandma was using innuendo-or if it was innocent.
January 12, 2009 at 5:08 pm
… and it was at that moment Grandma wearily accepted the fact that she will never be able to recount her fondest memory; the one where her “flavor of the day” boyfriend/cinematographer made her the first person to ever wear the “French maid” costume on film…
however briefly she actually “wore” it.
January 12, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Good for grandma! I thought it maybe was a typo and was supposed to be sex angles.
