Dear Shoeblossom,
My sister-in-law and I are thinking of turning this into a regular podcast! We had to debate whether to have it be "Letter from Austin" or "Houston" or even "Laredo" since we have family all over Texas.
Thanks again for your "Taped Confessions" series.
Thanks,
Bunny Baxter
"Talise, it just seems like you are so hard on Calder."
"Why, Bunny? Because he's standing in the corner with his pants and undies down?"
"That's a big part of it, yeah."
"He's a rude little fuck, and he needs to learn respect."
"He's hopping up and down for some reason."
"He probably has to pee. He can stand there a little longer, Bunny. You are so codependent.."
"I'm his big sister. And I've always worried about him. He gets himself into things."
"Calder told me. He said he volunteered for a pie eating contest or something, in college, and you tried to stop him, and he became violently ill, and you saved his life."
"That's over -dramatizing it, but yeah."
"And you had your boyfriends take exams for him, that's so pathetic. And you wrote a lot of his papers."
"Well, he was not doing well. Tulane kept asking him not to come back, the dean wrote letters, and Calder kept coming back anyway."
"Yes. Because he's wilful."
"Well, he needed a degree. My dad helped by getting them a new gym."
"But now he's a useless college graduate."
"Hey, Calder's engineer. Daddy got that school a library."
"Right, and any bridge Calder constructs will probably collapse."
"Well, he has a math disability, but he really wanted to do this, it sounds good."
"Yes, as far as I can see, the only thing Calder can master is lip synching old Michael Jackson songs."
"Yes, he does this great dance to "Billie Jean."
"Bunny, the whole submissive thing isn't limited to losers, I know that you have a weird relationship with your other brother."
"Collier? Well, yes. I guess that's so. "
"There's a story around that."
" When Collier was in dental school, Mother kept him in a chastity belt because Cully was so porn focused. She let him have jerk time after he showed her good grades."
"But that hasn't changed, has it? You monitor the chastity thing now, don't you?"
"Well, Collier doesn't ever really do any work. That's the problem. "
"Really? But he's a dentist.He did my root canal."
"Yes, but that's only because I have him on a reward and punishment schedule."
"He won't do anything without um, stimulation."
"Collier didn't move out of the house, and when he and Deagan wed, she moved in as well."
"And Deagan is a bit dominant too, right?"
"No, just to Collier. After she'd observed the peculiar connection between us, Deagan asked me to spank her one night."
"Really? How'd that come up?"
"I was in my room, brushing my hair, in my bathrobe, and I was startled when Deagan came in, very nude, and told me she had needs."
