Warming up Mom’s Bed

Warming up Mom’s Bed – Nightowly (2019)

Mom got pregnant when she was 15, so Mom & Dad quit school & got married. As a drop-out Dad couldn’t get jobs that paid well or lasted long, so we moved often as Dad changed jobs. We were dirt-poor and stayed in various cheap rental houses or apartments, & at least one tiny trailer.

The trailer was ancient, with cracked windows closed up with tape, and thin walls. We were all 6 crammed into this cold old 1 bedroom trailer up north during the winter. Mom & Dad’s small bed was in the back of the trailer behind the separation door, and us 4 kids slept on the fold-down couch in the very front “living room”. Dad worked nights so Dad slept alone days and Mom slept alone nights. The activities that would interest you occurred here – when I was very young but still old enough to remember.

Mom frequently had me sleep with her on cold winter nights. As she had done before, she woke me up one of those cold nights and whispered for me to come back to her bed to sleep. I left my warm bed and walked down the cold floor in the cold hall and jumped up into her bed. Mom joined me under the covers and snuggled up next to me.

Laying on my back next to Mom, we were talking…for some reason I don’t remember. Mom turned her head to look directly at me and said softly. “Honey, do you think you could do something for me?”

“OK?”

*long pause*

Mom got up and closed the separation door. I was wondering what this meant as Mom sat down and rolled back into the bed to face me.

“Help me get your underwear off.” (Us kids slept in only our underwear.)

“Why?”

“You’ll know pretty soon.” I did as I was told.

There was enough light coming through the curtains from the trailer yard lights for me to watch her lift up her butt and scooch her underwear off, too. I had no idea why these new things were going on.

Mom lifted up the covers and rolled over to straddle my legs.
