Yes. And my mother was PROUD of it. She was proud of being so honest with me. Once my dad cheated on her with a woman at my mom's parents' apartment (yikes, but listen on) while my mom's parents were away, but my mom's sister appeared and asked the other woman's son who was alone in the living room "where is Mark?" (my dad), and the boy pointed to another room and said "There, sleeping with my mom". And I of course had to hear this story from my mom being 10 or 11. She is dead, I cannot ask her why she felt compelled to share with me, but I am sure she would have answered something along self-righteous lines.
