When she first started coming to the house, I knew there was something about her that I didn't like. She was dating my son, and I know all moms feel this way about a woman dating their baby boy, but something about this was different. He turned his back on his whole family, his cat, and even his dog was suddenly not allowed to sleep in his room, because she was allergic. Funny her allergies are gone now that they have their own apartment, but that is another topic for another day. Today I am talking about how she not only took over parts of my sons life, but also my own.
One day I was busy around the house cleaning and the phone rang, it was her. She told me she needed to talk to me, and that it was important and could she come right up. "Of course Penny, I am just doing dishes."
When she arrived she took off her shoes, and had no socks on. She sat down at the table, and I offered her something to drink. The whole time she had been driving to the house, I had already convinced myself that she was here to talk to me because she was pregnant. When I sat down, I must have still been thinking about that when she started to talk about something she had found. When I heard the last 4 digits of my cell phone...that was a secret, my ears perked up. She not only found out about the cell phone, but she also had contacted the service provider and had obtained copies of the transcripts of my conversations via text message. I was dumbfounded, stone cold and silent.
She smiled and said..."did you want Sam to know about this? Or should we come to some sort of agreement between the two of us, so that doesn't have to happen? Don't take too long to think about it because I have to leave soon."
"What do you want from me Penny?"
"Well for starters you will address me as Goddess, and I will call you slut from now on, given these text messages, it is appropriate to call you that."
"Yes Goddess." I said, however I must have made a face or had a tone in my voice, because she got up and headed for the door..."I will not have you being a snot. I will just take these to Sam. Have a nice afternoon." She slid her shoes on and headed for the door.
