I have to laugh when I read all that Mother's Day crap about how you should honor your dear old mom because, after all, sonny boy, where would you be without her, blah blah and blah blah blah blah. Well, without my mom I might not be here, but now that I am she damn well knows it, and she has for the last two years.
It was tough for her when I was a kid, I admit that, because my father headed for the hills when I was just a baby. But she was the kind of overprotective parent that saw every sniffle as pneumonia and every drop of rain as leading straight to the flu. My playmates were "ruffians" that I was to avoid if they (gasp!) wore T-shirts and jeans instead of proper clothing. I was to come straight home after school every day, so that I shouldn't be tempted to start running with gangs or doing drugs. (Nothing was further from my mind.) And so on. Did I resent this? Does a bear shit in the woods?
The results of all this were that I left home as quickly as I could after high school, and I didn't see or talk to my mother for years. But eventually she found out where I was living, got a hold of my phone number, and started calling me.
At first I just put her off with stupid chitchat. Then I got fed up with her obsessive phone calls: she was like an old girlfriend that still wants to talk over your relationship with her even after it's dead. So I started telling her exactly how I felt, first just straight out, and finally in the most brutal language I could use, just to get her to stop. But no. She still called me. Even after I changed my number to something unlisted, she tracked me down again (the wonders of the Internet, I guess).
Finally it dawned on me that she actually wanted me to berate her, to call her bad names, to tell her in immense detail exactly how she'd fucked up my life. She was getting off on it. My poor dear mother was nothing less than a masochist.
Well, you should have seen what went down the day I decided to test that theory. I made a few little preparations, then drove back the two hours or so to my home town. Since she knew where I lived, then if she really wanted to see me as much as she claimed, she could have driven over any time. But no. Why? I suspected I knew exactly why.
When I got to the house, of course she let me in. We sat down on the living-room sofa and started talking, and pretty soon the talking turned to yelling. Finally the right moment came, and I snarled at her, "I've figured you out, you stupid neurotic bitch. You're getting off on all this drama. We talk and talk, and I tell you how badly you fucked up with me, and I just bet it's making you wet."
If I'd been wrong ... but I wasn't wrong. It only took one look into her eyes and the blush spreading over her face to know that I was exactly right. She was so shocked that I knew her true feelings that for once she couldn't get out a single word. So I took the initiative again.
"Mom, if you actually want me to hurt you, then we've been going about this all wrong. I'm sick of fucking around." She looked like nothing more than a doe in my headlights. "I'll tell you what you're going to do. You're going to take off your clothes, right now, every stitch. And I'm going to give you the punishment you damn well deserve. And then, well, we'll see what happens."
She didn't protest or say anything, but she didn't move to obey me, either.
"Don't make me wait," I growled ominously.
Slowly, very slowly, she got up from the sofa, unzipped her dress, and pulled it to her feet. It wasn't a striptease at all, more like getting undressed in the doctor's office. Then she undid her bra, letting her large saggy breasts emerge, and then used both hands to remove her panties. She stood holding her hands strategically over her tits and mound, but I had already seen that her nipples were standing straight up. More confirmation of my theory.
"I didn't know you had it in you to be like this," she said.
"There's a lot of things you don't know about me, Mom." She hung her head.
I got up and examined her body from all angles. For a 41-year-old, she really wasn't bad, because she'd had to do a lot of work on her feet while she was raising me, and it had kept her in shape. I was between girlfriends right now, and playing this little game with my mom would kill two birds with one stone. I would be able to put her in her place at last, and get my rocks off at the same time.
"Very good," I said, as I circled her body like a shark circling its prey. I reached into my pocket and curled my fingers around one of the things I'd bought for this little trip. "Look straight ahead," I said. Trembling, she complied. I brought the handcuffs out and quickly grabbed her hands behind her back and cuffed her before she could react. She whirled in surprise, but it was too late -- her hands were securely bound.
"Happy Mother's Day, Mom. I know it's a bit late, but I happened to go shopping, and as soon as I saw these I knew they were so you."
She shook her arms and struggled with the cuffs a little, as if she couldn't believe they were really there. "I can't -- I can't get out of them," she said softly, half statement, half question.
