Sharing a bed above Bob's head

I have many interesting occurrences to relate to you from Bob's trip to visit Patricia, and I'm not sure where to begin. Patricia's parents, and whole family, really liked Bob. And for good reason, because Bob is generally a great guy (thanks in large part to my influence). There are only a couple of issues that he struggles with, but generally, a great guy.

I was slightly surprised, and very pleased, that her parents have strict rules about "mixed crowds" (i.e. guys and girls) being in the house when there are no adults around. Bob thought it was good too, because even though he thinks about having sex all the time, he is very determined to save it until he gets married.

Interesting occurrences from the trip... Patricia's older sister, Alea, and her husband had just returned from their honeymoon, and had stopped over at Alea and Patricia's parents house to spend the night. This opened the door wide open to a whole host of uncomfortable circumstances for Bob. Maybe I'll make a whole miniseries of them: "Awkward experience with Alea and hubby of the day." No, that title is way too long.

Regardless, awkward circumstance #1:
Patricia's dad said to Patricia's mom: "I was thinking that Bob would have company on the futon, but I guess we can't stop them from sharing a bed anymore!" and Bob was just like "ew," because that's what you do when anyone older than you talks about having sex, even if they are only a couple years older.

Then later, Alea's hubby told Bob about how he used to sleep on the futon all the time. Bob felt like he, and Patricia's dad, were implying that he was going to end up with Patricia like Alea's hubby ended up with Alea. Which made him very uncomfortable, because he had decided that that was not his intention.

It turned out that the bed that the parents couldn't stop them from sharing was directly above Bob's head. One more point in the awkwardness category.
