Christmas lists went way off the
charts after his wife his love died
he had two daughters
his wife was a . . a stabilizing force . he knew it she knew it better than he she was always cautioning him to stay off the
wall stay the course others set
whats the
fun in that
fuckem if they cant take a joke
he was amazed how many people
couldnt
or at least the people in his wifes circle
vividly he remembers his wife
excusing herself to use the Ladies Room and telling him Please, please . . stay off the wall.
he did try for a nanosecond
when he turned back to the other four
couples he had to watch his wife walk away he loved watching her come but she was every bit as attractive when
she left somehow they devolved into a
conversation about lesbiansparticularly lesbians who performed in porn and how
perversedisgusting they were
their husbands
heads nodded
he interrupted Excuse me
Perverse Disgusting
the wives turned their eyes
turned on him YES. they chorused
Sorry girls hardly Girl
on girl action is hot
You’re unfortunate! one of them said Our husbands agree with us.
he looked into each mans
face one at a time
then he said to the women as he leaned into their circle Huddle up ladies
they leaned in with him BONUS low
cut dresses Youll excuse me Theres a
difference between me and your husbands
Yes. snarled the one You’re a pig.
No Your husbands are liars
they popped upright like four teenage
erectionsgrabbed their husbands arms and hustled off en masse just as his wife came walking back up
What
did you do?
Spoke the
truth
About what?
About girl on girl actionIts hot
You brought that up after I told
you to stay off the wall?
After you left I turned around
and was right in it Wasnt my subject
matter
she glared
he shrugged nonchalant
Theyre hot
she laugheddidnt cover her mouth
If the performance is well produced.
I wasnt talking raunchy
No. You are particul . .
. . Discerning
Discerning. she smiled he
loved her dimples Yes. You are.
they didnt have many friends
his girls prior to their mothers
death had always prepared elaborate Santa lists they presented them the day after Thanksgiving he often said when Black Fridays commenced that his girls were the actual harbingers of
it
her
death took the wind out of their sails
the lists arrived later and later
they were no longer on scrolls
then he had to begin asking them what
theyd like
finally one year
without direction
he asked several of his bisexual
and lesbian friends their recommendations for top-drawer dildos and vibrators
on Christmas morning after
opening their stockings and going through them sipping spiked egg nog he handed them at the same time one of what were two of his Christmas gifts
Dad! they asked in concert Why is my present vibrating?
I suppose theyre excited to be in
your hands
rustle rustle
rustlerustle DAD!
