...His mother! "Hey, Jon, what's going on?" Linda Madison asked. Jon was shocked: this was not what he had expected. However, upon reflection he realized that maybe it wasn't such a bad thing. His mom lived under the same roof, so the problem of having to meet up was taken care of. He more than liked her: he loved her as his mother, and she had a mother's love for him. In addition, Jon knew that she did have a mischevious and occasionally adventurous side to her. Fifteen years of motherhood may have caused that nature to fade but not to vanish completely. This stone could be her chance to have some fun without sacrificing motherly responsibilities.
Jon emerged from his reverie and realized his mom was still looking at him expectantly. "Hey, mom," Jon answered, "I'm glad you're here. I have something I want to show you."
