That's right", she says, wiping tears from her cheeks. "You weren't with me that time I walked in on them doing the deed. Seriously Freudian horror.""

About This Quote

Josie, in this passage, has just come home after having an argument with her parents. She is in the bathroom when she hears someone else in the house. The person is her dad and he is having sex with her mom. As much as she wants to run out of the house to go to her friend's house, she decides that it would be much more fun to watch them have sex.

"Go ahead", Josie says. "Mate in public. Tonight we won't even mind." This line tells us that Josie feels nothing will really happen because she knows her parents are well-behaved people who will not do anything horribly wrong like what they were doing in the bedroom.

Her parents are well-behaved people who don't need to act shamefully in order for Josie to feel shameful herself, but Josie also does not feel good enough to leave the house and go out with friends to break some decency laws.
