My son David recently moved back home after a dismal failure in his first semester of college. He's nineteen now but he's still struggling to make it on his own, what with going to school and only having time for a part-time job. But he's our only child and we want to see him succeed so we allowed him come back home and stay without having to worry about rent.
Since David has been gone I have started to become accustomed to being more carefree around the house as far as clothes go, which my husband Jim doesn't seem to mind at all. I enjoy being naked and I enjoy the freedom of being able to walk from my bedroom to the bathroom to the kitchen wearing a pair of socks and nothing else if I feel like it. Now that he is back home I have to be more careful about just how carefree I am these days.
When David was young, up until he was about ten years old, he was not shy at all. He made no fuss about nudity at all, he would get dressed with his bedroom door open and walk around the house in his underwear often and not seem embarrassed at all about it. Later on however, once he hit his teens, he changed dramatically. He was much more reserved, was easily embarrassed and would never be caught without clothes on. I guess this isn't unusual for teenagers, their bodies are developing and changing rapidly and they feel awkward even amongst family because of it. I'm sure I felt the same way when I was a teenager, although I don't recall ever being that shy.
One morning after Jim had gone to work, I got up and headed for the kitchen to start a pot of coffee. I had slept in only panties and that was all I was wearing as I walked from my bedroom. I hadn't realized that David was watching TV in the living room, in fact I'd almost completely forgotten he was home. I froze as I rounded the corner and saw him sitting on the couch, his back was to me and he apparently didn't realize I was there, he didn't turn around. There was a slight lump in my throat as I considered my options: retreat to my bedroom and get dressed, or continue to the kitchen and be seen. There was no way I could get passed him unnoticed.
I decided I wasn't going to me ashamed of myself in my own house. I quietly walked towards the kitchen, passing David without acknowledging him and proceeded to make my coffee. I stood there topless in my blue cotton panties, wondering what David was thinking and what he might say when I walked back to my room. I'd be facing the couch as I left the kitchen and he'd see me for sure, there was no way to avoid it. My pulse quickened, my mouth went dry.
