Becky says, “Give me a break lady, I am trying to catch up on two years’ worth!” We all laugh at that… Sis looks at Becky and says mind if kno... what all that racket was about from around 1:30 to 3:00?” Becky looks at them and says, “we played a little game from midnight until about 1:30 and then Mr. Stamina over here decided he wanted to make love for a little while…” She gives me the shh signal and I understand… Mandy looks at Becky with disbelief on her face… “that was you two having sex for.
