Abel’s father has been suffering from back problems recently, but yesterday he was talking about going back to the office, where they’ve missed him for the last couple of weeks.
“It would be good if you went in with a cane,” said Abel to him on the phone.
“Oh, yeah, that would scare them!” replied his dad with enthusiasm.
Abel’s jaw dropped. He finished the conversation, then turned to me and said: “I actually meant he should get a walking stick, but it’s not what he meant, is it?”
…Yes, the interest is definitely genetic.
Heh heh… I think it would be pretty cool if these things would actually run in families, but I guess not. I’m not as *lucky* as Abel is, though, my mother thinks we’re all psycho’s, or so she always says when the subject comes up in one way or another. Obviously she has no clue as to what her daughter’s particular interests are…
He does seem to light up when the subject is mentioned doesn’t he, but if you are wondering about him….and you best sit down before reading this…..maybe he is wondering about you.
Are you absolutely sure that those 100+ implements were all put safely to bed each and every time he visited….and have you considered that he has known you since birth and may have picked up on a trait or two over the years?
No spanking the messenger now!!!
Rob – dekinking our house is a major exercise before any parental visit, planned with military precision!
I would be amazed if he knew about our activities. (But just in case – if you’re reading this: hi, dad!)
I would be amazed also if my mother knew what I get up to. No chance she is reading this as all my efforts to teach her to use her laptop have failed. In a mad moment over lunch this week I mentioned I had been writing a few stories and she, surprisingly, said she would love to read them. Oh dear, I may have to russle up a few non-kinky stories fast!
