    I just read it as a “footsie” comment, what might be seen as flirtatious behavior and therefore the precursor to possible baby-making action.

    I read it as he was warming his toes before snuggling up with her so she wouldn’t complain about how cold his feet were and break the mood. Either way works though.

    I’m with Tom - he’s playing footsie, she’s not up for nookie, he’s coming up with a silly excuse for the footsie.

    Either way it’s a bit disconcerting with their two kids [I’m assuming] right there. Maybe it’s just me but the thought of being in the same room while my parents are snuggling in bed would nominate this one for an eeew tag.

    Too bad there’s not a [spoiler] tag here, since I have a slightly obscene theory. And no, it doesn’t involve absurd contortions. As it is, I still have no idea how racy is too racy for this site.

    I think he’s teasing her by saying he didn’t even want the two kids to begin with. He was just warming his toes and she was the one who wanted unprotected sex back then. He said that after her comment, “…and stopped there.” It’s the equivilent of — “Well, I didn’t want to do anything more than warm my toes back then. wink wink”

    If Jeri was their only child, that could be valid.

    But the immediately following arc was Mom reminiscing about when Teena was a baby, and there is nothing but joy in her attitude. (Except at the abominable way wee Jeri treated wee Teena.)

    @ amo (4): in panel 3, the children have left the room. I agree with Philip (2). Both spouses are aware of what the adult version of the “celebration” might be. Once the children leave, the wife makes clear she doesn’t mean this. The husband pretends frustrated anticipation.

    Does “warming my toes” mean the same as “testing the waters”?
