The five of us all chatted easily while we shared lunch. When we sat in the living room and watched television after, Mom walked Duane over to the loveseat. When he sat next to Joanne, Mom smiled down at him.
"You don't mind, do you?" she asked softly.
"Um?" he started. Then she slid into his lap. "Ah," he said. "No, I don't mind at all."
When she started pressing her butt into his crotch, he leaned forward to murmur in her ear.
"I'm going to give you about half an hour to stop doing that."
"And then what?" Mom retorted, turning her head to grin at him.
He looked around at all of our grinning faces. Then he leaned forward and kissed my mother on the lips. "Then I'm going to ask if it's Joanne's turn," he answered with that same wicked grin.
Mom left to pick up Jeannie from the airpo
