Nothing like that conversation. Here's how I 'came out' to my parents.

Scene: The supper table. I was 14 or 15, I think.

My father: 'We've got four pigs due to farrow [give birth] next week. I'll need you and Danny to muck out and repair the farrowing pens. Pass the bread, please.'

Me: 'Da, I've been meaning to tell you. I'm...I'm...an atheist.'

My father: 'I don't imagine the pigs will mind. Pass the bread.'
