Mikey paused his video game and walked into the kitchen to get a snack. But then he paused. His mom usually harped on him about him eating before dinner. But where was she?
He walked into the living room, curious. His mom's book was sitting on the coffee table. It was still open (face down on the table), so that usually meant that she was coming right back. But back from where?
Mikey shrugged. Maybe she had to use the bathroom. He walked over to the downstairs bathroom, but she wasn't there. The only other bathroom she would use would be the one in her bedroom.
So he went up the stairs and then down the hall. As usual, he could hear Zoe's metal music blaring through her door, so his sister was definitely home. His brother Jon's room, though, seemed oddly silent. But Mikey supposed that he was just doing homework or something. And then he got to his mom and dad's door. The sounds he heard coming from behind it puzzled him. There was a squeaking sound and some heavy breathing and moaning and groaning. What was going on in there? His mom certainly wasn't using the bathroom.
Thinking that his mom might be in trouble, Mikey opened the door and walked in. And what he saw was something that no 10-year old boy should have seen - his mom having sex with a stranger.
