Beth looked at me with concern, “Alvin, you’re staying here with us this weekend.” She said as though this were old news. Then she dropped the bomb, the real reason we’d come to Canada, “So your folks can have a couple of days alone.”
I leaned on the kitchen counter to keep from falling over.
Beth then asked me, “Didn’t they explain that to you?”
I raced into the other room where I found Mom kissing John really mushy like. I’m talking about the two of them being in full face sucking mode! If I wasn’t so upset over the fact that they were about to leave me stranded in some strange country, I would have been completely and unreservedly repulsed by the way the two of them were slobbering all over each other.
