It was a couple hours into the drive when Jon had felt the call of nature. He'd been very quiet the whole drive thus far, not feeling entirely comfortable talking to Karyn's parents without her around. That was about to change, however, since he knew he couldn't hold his bladder indefinately. He decided to pipe up.
"Mr. Black?" He inquired, leaning forward toward the front seat. He succeeded in gaining their attention and Mrs. Black, Karyn's mom turned to face him.
"Jon, honey, this is new to all of us, but you're here in Karyn's place. While we're on this trip you should call me mom, and Mr. Black you should call dad. Okay?"
"Okay, mom," Jon awkwardly replied. It felt incredibly weird to call these two people his parents, but since he didn't entirely understand the wish he thought he'd just go with the flow. "Dad, would you mind pulling over somewhere so I can go, uh, pee?"
Mr. Black laughed. "Can't hold it, eh boy? I'll find you someplace to go. Since you're here in Karyn's place we can't just pull over to the side of the highway; there's a gas station up ahead. I'll pull in there. I'm sure they have a ladies room."
Jon leaned back and rode in silence. Did he just say ladies room?
