You had thought she would just barge in anyway like she usually does but she didn’t to your surprise. She stood on the other side of your door with her hand still on the door knob.
“I need you to listen to me all the way so you aren’t surprised.” You started in a contemplative voice that seemed to be holding your Mom at bay. “Last night I lie down and fell asleep and when I woke up I was different. My body changed; something that you would only believe in a sci-fi flick.”
“Oh it is natural for someone of your age honey to have… changes at your age.” Your mom said. She was obviously missing the point. You were slightly embarrassed but then again you never got “the talk” since your dad died a few years ago.
“No Mom that’s not what I meant. I guess the only way to explain it is to show you. But you have to promise that no matter what you see you will remain calm. This is not exactly easy for me to deal with.”
