"Heya pumpkin. How's your day?" Your mother walks into the living room, where you're watching some crap on discovery channel. Here's to hoping this isn't going to be another bonding session. You keep watching TV as she sits down next to you. You can tell she's about to go out. Wearing jeans and a white shirt, her sunglasses tugged in the hem of it. Judging by the time, it's probably shopping. You sigh. She probably needs you to tag along, carrying stuff.
-"What are you watching?" She asks, obviously to check if it's unimportant enough.
-"Nothing. Just some history channel." You say halfheartedly. "Why? What's up?"
-"Oh I was just about to go to the store. Wondering if you wanted to come along." She asks, a hint of plea in her voice. "I could use the extra arms..."
You sigh. Not really in the mood to go out, but not able to come up with a good excuse to stay in. Then you realize, maybe you can swap some stuff around between your mom and someone else, and make her leave you alone...
You mumble something incoherent, thinking up a plan in your head. Your mom only needed you along for the extra muscle. Why not give her some. You switch to a home-shopping channel, where a scarcely clad female athlete is demonstrating how efficiently she can step up and down a balance-board, and focus on the swap. Seconds later, you're watching a woman on TV doing steps clumsily and out of breath, while your mother is looking fitter and more buff than ever. Well defined muscles, constricted by the now tight clothes she wears, contract and flex with every movement she makes. She stretches her broad shoulders, craning a neck wrapped in pure brawn.
-"What was that?" She asks, acting as if nothing is out of the ordinary.
You look at her. She didn't notice? And she still wants you to come? Well, crap.
