I tried very hard to block out the conversation I heard last night, but it was to intense and funny not to keep listening in. I was sitting at the dinner table and I overheard my 50 year old mother on the phone with a man. They were apparently having passionate gay phone sex. My father died about ten years ago so I think my mother is due to move on and find somebody again. I did not expect this to be part of the search, but if it makes her happy than who am I to judge? I couldn’t help but smile as she walked back into the kitchen, and at that moment I knew that she was aware of me overhearing her. But like my mother always does, she went on with her nightly routine, ignoring the fact that I had caught her doing something.
