Nana Biography

Here I’m crying now. 

Yes, gee.  Kind of catching, isn’t it? The young kid.

Yes. Because I wasn’t aware of this.   And my mother was great because she was having a glass of champagne and she kind of, I think she was sad too. It was sad for them. I guess.

You wouldn’t have appreciated it.

Oh God, I was going to drive out to California on my honeymoon. And you know it was funny. I got married and here I was married to this guy, I had not slept with him, and we had not really been terribly intimate, I didn’t know him very well. He was good looking, he had a great car, we were going to drive out to the coast in five or six days, and I had to get in bed with him that night, we were both exhausted from a week of festivities, and he had read some book, or had some friend tell him, that you’re supposed to do it three times, because the first two times – wasn’t really the great one, but the third time was really the time. And by the time he -  and oh, and the other thing was, we stayed in Frankfurt Kentucky in some hotel, and he got two bedrooms, and I don’t know why. I think he thought I was going to be ashamed or something. I had a beautiful white satin gown. I came in and got in bed with him, terrified, and he didn’t know what he was doing, and I didn’t know what I was doing, we did it, but all I can remember was it didn’t hurt, particularly, but when he came after me on the third time, I said, “I don’t understand what’s going on. “ (laughs). And all I can remember is coming out to the coast and really not looking forward to this very much. It was not one of the big moments in my life, but everything else was great, and so it didn’t matter much, and we had sex, but I’m not sure that it was great until several months later.
