"I blushed deeply. Although I was getting used to what we were doing, mom seemed to be taking things to a new level each time, and I still had a tinge...of embarrassment about the whole thing."Er..thanks, mom," I said gratefully, "To be honest...er...I sort of, can't wait."Mom slapped me on the cheek playfully, smiling, and said, "Ok, come on, clean yourself up and come downstairs. I'm just going to note down this measurement and then go and put dinner on the plates. See you in a few minutes.".

I don’t know what I could say or do that would convince you that I am different from other humans, that I am trustworthy.
