"Mom?" Jon asked hesitantly, walking back into the kitchen. Or is it Dad now? he thought, with a cringe.
The man turned and looked at him. "Jon, what are you still doing down here? I told you to go put on a bra," he said.

Or was his father no longer part of his family? Jon wasn't sure.
"Mom ..." Jon said.
"Why do you keep calling me that?" the man asked.
"Well, what do you want me to call you?" Jon asked back.
