"Dare I ask what kind of game?" Melinda asked wryly, pretty sure she didn't really want to know anyway.
"Oh, just a little something to loosen you up," Tina said with a smile. "Let's get her down to the basement so we can get started!"
"Why the basement?!" Melinda demanded, but instead of answering her, her son and son-in-law picked up the naked woman by her arms, and carried her to the entryway and down the steps to the basement of her own house! Melinda but up a little bit of a struggle, mostly for show, because she knew the guys were too strong for her to resist, and besides, it was kind of fun to be carried like that by two hunky young men!
"Guys, come on! Put me down, this is silly!"
They did indeed put her down, but only after reaching the basement, which Melinda saw had been prepared for whatever her family and friends had in mind. Normally the basement, which was as large as the house, a large roomy chamber with a smooth concrete floor, was not much used, it was well-lit and dry, but it had been years since Melinda had used it for much other than storage. Now, the few bits and pieces normally stored there had been shoved into a corner out of the way. A huge rubber sheet had been spread out across the floor, with some chairs around the edges and a table on one side...a table absolutely loaded down with pies, cakes, bottles, pitchers, and other containers of food and liquids.
Neil and Steven carried Melinda over to the rubberized area, and set her on her feet, Neil pausing to kiss his naked mother's cheek lovingly before going over to the edge of the sheeted area. As he left he told her to stay where she was in a firm tone.
"OK, everybody, listen up," Tina, as mistress of ceremonies, was saying. "We're going to have a game to see how well Mel here knows her own kids!"
Uh oh,
Melinda mused nervously.
I don't know if I like the sound of that!
As she watched, her granddaughters rolled out a cart from over by the table, a cart with two huge trays on it covered in bowls of eggs. They parked this right in front of Melinda, in easy reach, and headed back over to the edge of the sheet, their bare soles slapping on the rubber as they did.
"Here's out it will work," Tina was saying with a huge smile. "Cathy and Neil have helped up put together a list of questions about themselves that they don't think Mel here will be able to answer correctly. I'll be asking Mel the questions, and for each question she gets wrong about her son or her daughter, Melinda will hand that one an egg and he or she will break a nice fresh egg somewhere on her body!"
"You've got to be kidding!" Melinda shrieked, though she knew all too well that Tina was serious.
"I'd think you'd get tired of saying that, Melinda!" said Annie Romane, another old friend. "I am
so
going to enjoy watching this!"
"What did I ever do to you, Annie?!" Melinda demanded.
"You mean besides undoing my top at the pool party, showing the pictures from our college days to my kids, buying me that gag gift in front of everybody at my baby shower-"
"All right, all right," Melinda said, blushing and laughing, "you don't have to rub it in!"
Then she turned and demanded from Tina with a daring grin, "So what happens when I
do
get a question right, you evil bitch?"
Tina didn't take the insult personally, laughing back and saying, "Why, that's where Jean and Steven come in! Neil, Cathy, why don't you two get ready and join your poor mother?"
To Melinda's surprise, her 34 year old daughter and her 38 year old son began to undress! Cathy was dressed in blue jeans, a snug white blouse, and flip-flops, Neil wore jeans and a T-shirt, and both were undressing right there in front of the whole group! Their respective spouses were smiling and did not seem at all bothered as Cathy and Neil stripped down to their underwear and walked out to stand alongside their mother. Neil had on tight white briefs, Cathy some very daring white panties and a lacy bra, both were otherwise bare and smiling at each other and their mother.
There were whistles and cheers for the underwear-clad brother and sister, including, to Melinda's surprise, from her granddaughters, who seemed to find nothing odd about giving wolf-whistles to their own father!
"Wow, Daddy! You're hunkier than my boyfriend!" Bethany exclaimed. "Nice butt!"
Briana contented herself with a wolf-whistle.
Well, he is pretty damned hot,
Melinda admitted to herself as she looked her 38 year old son over. His stomach was still flat, he was muscled without being overbuilt, his thick hair was shot with a little silver, and all-in-all he looked pretty good.
For that matter, so did Cathy. At 34, her daughter was an attractive woman with shoulder-length brown hair and a pair of nice-shaped, just slightly sagging C-cup tits behind her skimpy bra.
A moment later, Jean and Steven, barefoot but otherwise dressed, were standing beside their spouses.
"Mel, any time you get a question right, the one you got it right about gets an egg on him or her from Jean or Steven! So if it turns out you know your kids better than they think you do, you'll be clean and dry and they'll be gunked to the limit!"
"That is so not gonna happen," Cathy said with a snicker.
"It's not fair!" Melinda protested. "They get to 'egg' me and I don't get to do them!"
"No," Steven said to his mother-in-law, "but I'll tell you what, Mel, what if Jean and I let you pick the spot that gets egged when you win?"
"Well...OK," Melinda said. It was not as if she had a choice anyway, she mused.
"One more rule, any time any of the three of you gets 'egged'," Tina said, "he or she must thank the person who did it!"
"That wasn't in the rules!" Neil said with a laugh.
"It is now," Tina replied. "All right, let's get started! First question is about Cathy. Mel, when Cathy was 12 years old, what was the name of the first boy she kissed?"
Mel thought back to those days, now over two decades before, remembering her daughter in the throws of her first big crush, and after a moment she said, "Anthony Allen."
Tina looked at the answer, smiled, and said, "Sorry, Mel, the right answer was Brad Allen."
