My son Edward is rather...odd. That's the only word for it. That's not to say that he's simple or stupid; in fact, he possesses near-genius level intelligence, as far as I can tell. Nor is he mentally ill. It's just that his mental cogs don't seem to mesh with those of the rest of the world sometimes.
He's never done anything harmful to himself or anyone, but his judgment has frequently been questionable. For example, his decision when he was twelve that he would dye himself purple with Kool-Aid. He did a very good job of it; he was some shade purple for
months
. I'll admit that it was rather attractive on him, and he did love the attention, but it wasn't something that was easily repaired.
Ditto for his decision, from the age of ten (precisely the age of ten; he started on his birthday) to speak henceforth and forevermore in a middle-class British accent. We're from Oklahoma.
Maybe it's my fault. I've been raising him on my own since his quirky musician father died in a freak drumming accident just before we were scheduled to wed (don't ask). Fortunately, we've had a large support system on both sides of the family since, but a boy really needs a father to keep him in hand.
So I guess it shouldn't have surprised me when I came home from work one day to find him strutting around the living room singing at the top of his lungs. That's happened before, but what he was wearing, and what he was singing, was more than a little odd.
When I entered the living room, his back was to me, and he was waggling his rear end back and forth comically. This was odd enough, but what he was wearing was odder yet: he appeared to be clad in nothing more than some kind of sheer leggings that stretched tenuously over his lean shanks and buttocks. And he was singing, loudly, a modified version of that old Fountains of Wayne hit, "Stacy's Mom":
My own mom has got it goin' on
She's all I want, and I've waited for so long
Mommy can't you see, you're the perfect girl for me!
I know it might be wrong, but I'm in love with my own mom!
Well. That was something new.
I cleared my throat. "Edward, honey, what's going on?" I had realized, by now, that he was wearing my pantyhose. Oh, dear.
He spun around, his bright smile lighting up the room. But that's not what caught my eye. Swaying before him, protruding from a hole torn in the front panel of the pantyhose, was his enormous erection. Now, I was quietly aware that he'd hit puberty long since, but I hadn't had an opportunity to see him nude in quite some time (the purple Kool-Aid incident, actually). I'm afraid I gasped.
He glanced down and grasped his rather large cock, wraggling it my direction. "Hullo, Mum!" he said happily. "I was just having a bit of a wank. Thinking of you, actually." He reached down and stroked his erection, and his grin broadened as I gasped and dropped my attachΓ© case.
"
Edward Ethan!
What do you think you're doing!!!"
He arched a fine eyebrow. "I'm having sex with myself."
