Group Grope

Group Grope

My wife and I were so happy when I got my promotion to Plant Manager but it also meant that we had to move. We went out early to look for a house. My wife applied for a teaching position at the same school that our two daughters would be attending. Then we went back home to sell that house, pack everything up, and move to our new home. My wife received the job offer that she was hoping for. Life was beautiful.

My daughter Jeneffer is fourteen years old, developing rather nicely, and she is a ball of fire. That girl has more energy than my wife and I have put together.

My daughter Melody is thirteen years old, also developing nicely, and she is more of a bookworm or maybe a couch potato.

My wife is beautiful and both of our daughters take after her. All three have long brown hair past their bra straps. My wife just turned forty years old. A mile stone in her life. I am also forty years old. We met in college, fell in love, and married after graduation. Since then we both managed to get our Master Degrees and raise two children. Of course Mary’s degrees are both in education, specifically in grades six through twelve in science. My Bachelor Degree is in engineering and my Master Degree is in business.

I have worked for my company for fifteen years and worked very hard for my promotion to Plant Manager. My wife was concerned about starting over in a new school but she knew that good teachers were always in demand. So as a family we decided to relocate halfway across the country to Tin Buck Two, Nebraska. It was not a very big town by any standards and half of the people in town would basically work for me. There were only two schools. One was for kindergarten through sixth grade and the other one was obviously seventh through twelfth grades. Jeneffer was going into the eighth grade while Melody was going into the seventh. Mary had been given the ninth and tenth grade science classes.

We arrived in the middle of summer and settled in quickly. We felt right at home immediately. I put in extra hours at the plant to get up to speed myself. My senior staff was very good at what they do and actually welcomed any new ideas that I had to offer. Together we would make a great team.

Mary and the girls took in what sights there were, went shopping for school clothes, and bonded nicely. All three were looking forward to school starting already.

That first day of school was hectic for me and I got home late. I didn’t even have time to call them so I picked up some flowers and candy on the way home.

I rushed in talking a mile a minute, put down the flowers and candy, and hugged my wife. She froze in my arms. That was not like her at all. I merely looked at Melody and she cringed into her chair. As I approached Jeneffer she clasped her fingers behind her head, opened her stance to shoulder width, and let me hug her as long as I wanted too, however she didn’t return my embrace.

I stepped back and said, “What’s going on here?”

Jeneffer said, “Group Grope!”

At that Melody stood up, clasped her fingers behind her neck, and opened her stance to shoulder width.

I looked at both of my girls then at my wife and asked again, “What’s going on here?”

My wife said, “Well being our first day at this school we were all escorted into the Principle’s Office.
