When I was little, my rarely saw my parents kiss, or hug, or have any type of physical contact. This was not because they disliked each other or had a bad relationship, but because they were like any other normal, Asian parents. So one day, when I stumbled into my mom and dad's closet and found a box of condoms, I was incredibly confused. I used to think that perhaps my dad wore the condoms everyday to protect himself from getting raped by other, nasty women. I refused or never really believed that my parents who *gasp* ever have sex together.
