At lunch last week with a couple of former colleagues – all “it’s been way too long, how are you” masquerading for “I wonder if you’re doing anything interesting which might help me make money”.
One asked: “So what are you up to in your spare time these days?”
“Oh, I write spanking stories and keep a blog. I guess you’d call it fetish erotica. It’s doing really well: we’ve had millions of hits. I spank girls, and my much-younger wife Haron and I are poly. And we just love role-playing: have you ever been to a school day?”
Only the other member of our group answered first, and I made a sharp exit to the loo, and they were onto another topic by the time I returned. But his question did make me gulp, momentarily.
Oh come on Abel, I’m sure that if you thought very, very, very hard you could think of something you do in your spare time that isn’t kinky…. I mean, think really, really hard! 😉
I so understand that feeling! I sometimes wonder if my face gives me away when I say that I haven’t been up to anything exciting lately. Oh, what a lie that is!
Abel, arrange to meet with them again on April 1st. Engineer the conversation so the whole “what have you been up to” thing comes up, give the above answer, have a good laugh at their shocked reactions, and then pretend it was all an April Fool’s joke!
Now I’m wondering what your cover story is going to be for the next time. Historical research? “Oh, I visit historic monuments and go to bookstores.” They’ll probably think you’re so bland that they’ll never ask again. Their loss.
