By the time I am showered and dressed, Mikey has left to go golfing with his mates.
I tidy-up while I wait for Alice to be ready. I don’t have a maid service on a weekend.
Alice and I have a pleasant morning shopping for clothes and then for food for the week ahead. I raise some objections to some of Alice’s choice of clothes but she reminds me that I agreed to a clothing allowance for her precisely so that she could make her own choices.
We return home for lunch. Alice seems to have something on her mind. Eventually she speaks.
“Mummy,” she starts, hesitantly.
“Yes, darling?” I reply, wondering what is coming.
“Are you and Mikey … serious? I mean, is it a long-term *thing* … you and him?”
I’m a little taken aback, but I answer, “Well, I wouldn’t have suggested that he move in with us, if it wasn’t serious, but I’m not sure if it is permanent. I’m not planning to marry him or have his children, if that is what is bothering you!”
“Oh!” she says and hesitates again.
“Do you have kinky sex with him?” she asks, suddenly.
