"Long Drive"
Original Air Date 03/02/03
Chapter 409

You’re not gonna believe this! Mom’s doctor said that because
of all the stress she receives at home, she has to move to her sister’s
house to avoid it. That’s right, we’re single-handedly responsible
for getting Mom kicked out of the house! Total freedom was only days away.
So remember the girl Nikki I was forbidden to date? Well, we’re
still seeing each other, but sneaking around has become even more difficult.
Obviously Mom suspects me, but so far I’ve been able to avoid any
real confrontation.
Needless to say, it all came to a head on the three-hour drive to my Aunt’s
to drop Mom’s stuff off. It was just the two of us and she actually
did the unthinkable. That’s right, the Sex Talk! Talk about a bomb
dropping in your lap!
I probably wouldn’t have minded so much if she didn’t pull
out visual aids and take examples from her own experiences! Did I really
have to hear about her virginity?
So after I vomited, Mom actually made some good points about sex. We even
had a real conversation about it. I couldn’t believe we finally talked
like normal people. Funny how things change when you’re not treated
like a five-year-old.
After all that, maybe it’s not such a good thing for Mom to be leaving
the house…I can’t even believe I just wrote that last sentence.
Let it be stricken from the record.
