My mother, Rose Smith, is a lovely, maternal woman. I am very close toher as I took after her physically. I am small and slender like her. Weare al...o a lot alike personality wise except that my mother tries to besubservient to my father. I know it bothers her but my father has her sobrowbeat and intimidated that she doesn't fight back. Don't get me wrongmy father has not hit her, but he does tend to use a little verbalintimidation when necessary. On the sly, my mother has taught her. His mother broke the silence "well son I usede the towel to dry my hair so it's soaked, we can't sleep in a wet bed all night." Tommy replied "I suppose you're right mum" as he got under the covers. "Mine is soaked too mum, would it be weird if I took mine off too?" Mary started laughing "I'm your mother Tommy, don't be so silly. Let's get a good nights sleep, we can get up early, dry off thye rest of our clothes and be on the road by mid afternoon."Tommy and his mother drifted off into a deep. "Do you remember what I said will happen from now on, every time you are late?" Yes, M." Then why are you still clothed?"Holmes takes her finger off the intercom as the voice on the other end goes quiet. The underground recess is deep enough, at least, that she would not be seen from the alley if she did strip. Above all, she did agree to this as a fair and just punishment at the time - even though being diverted by an unexpected call from work was hardly a fair point, one might argue, to put. The bad part is that I have had to have one of my better men, plus a representative from the accounting firm, with them the whole time. I invited them to put an office at the shop so they could audit the books when the accounting firm is doing it. That way they could both do it at the same time. Their problem is that we pay our taxes on time every quarter, but we also re-file for changes and refunds if any numbers change. They have actually found that we've overpaid again."Steve looked at me.
