We've all been there. You wake up with someone, small talk is had, and all of a sudden there is a moment. The penny drops. "You're married?" "You live with your parents??" "You're Irish??" "You've got a child?" "You're HOW old???"
I suppose I can be comforted by the fact that these post-coital bombshells are not particular to certain genders. Or sexualities for that matter. I do not think I know anyone who has indulged in casual sex who does not have at least one of these harrowing tales to tell. Well, I say harrowing, but what I really mean is hilarious.
For myself I can say that nothing quite beats the time I realised I was in a boy's family home, couldn't find my bra, then found it on the family sofa. I wish I could say that it was a really fancy bra. But alas, it was of the greying t-shirt variety. Then of course, how could we forget the Ranga.
But like I say, it's not just me. On more than one occasion I have been naked with a man who 'casually' told the story of a 'friend' who went home with a woman only to find out she was married. To which I am duty bound to reply 'Well, you can rest assured that I'm not married - as if!'.
So tell me my shy, shy readers, what has been you're biggest bombshell?
