Chapter 4: Talking It Over With My Mom

Later that morning my mom was home as she had started working a new shift that day. As we were eating breakfast, she gave me an odd look.

“So Kelly, tell me ... did your dad fuck you this morning before he went to work?” she asked.

“Ummmmm, yeah,” I replied, uncertain as to where this was going so I tried to downplay it as much as possible. “It was pretty quick though, he had to catch the ‘T’.”

“I see ... well, I just thought I heard something this morning,” she mused. She took a another drink from her coffee cup and seemed to be thinking hard about something before she finally looked back at me and asked, “And just how long has THIS been going on?”

Now I was really curious as to what she was leading up to. I knew my mom pretty well and I knew when she was setting up the pins. The question was, when would she roll the ball and try to knock them down? I chose my words carefully for my reply.

“It’s only been the last few days. I don’t know for sure whether he’s going to do it every morning from now on or not. You know how he is sometimes, it may just be a phase he’s going through.”

The way my mom rolled her eyes made me wonder whether I’d helped or just made things worse. Actually, I had a pretty good feeling that my dad was enjoying his morning wake-up calls so my expectations were that he would be doing it again soon.

“Yeah, he’s something else, isn’t he,” she said, shaking her head slowly, “I mean, he’s always been the type that wakes up horny - must be where you get it from, certainly not me! I just don’t get off doing it that early in the day - never have. I need two cups of coffee before I do ANYTHING in the morning, let alone sex.”

She paused to take another sip from her cup. I still wasn’t sure what to say as it seemed everything I had said so far just made things worse. Then she chuckled softly, as if a funny thought had come to her mind.

“Sorry, I guess I just don’t understand him sometimes. Since we’ve been married he’s jerked off in the bathroom in the morning, usually after he shaves and before he showers. You guys have been fooling around for years now so what took him so long to come up with this idea? Why now?”

“You don’t mind, do you mom?” I asked, worried that she might be upset or something for some reason. I was totally confused as normally she never said much of anything about my dad and me, even when we did it right in front of her. Why this was any different, especially since she was sleeping at the time anyway?”

“Oh no, sweetie - don’t worry,” she assured me, putting her hand on mine, “I guess I just wish sometimes he would discuss things with me before he just goes off and does it, especially when it involves sex with you”

That was all she said about the matter for the rest of the day and I figured she was over with it, that is, until my dad came home and we were seated around the table eating supper. In the middle of the meal, right out of the blue my mom looked at my dad and gave him a bit of a smirk, the kind someone gives when they know a secret and someone else doesn’t.
