#38933 - We kept an eye on the time and knew when mom was home to return as she would be making our evening meal, when we got home she asked why our clothes were covered in mud and soaking wet. Mom looked to Rachel and then said to me “See your sister isn’t bothered” “But mom” “Ok then I’ll do a deal with you” she swallowed and took a deep breath then said “I’ll strip off too, but first you have to get undressed” I was stunned at her words and looked at my sisters for their reaction, they didn’t seem too bothered, so I stood up and removed my shirt and trousers. Thankfully mom quickly changed the subject to place’s we would visit and made a note of how much it would cost, she was good a budgeting and she worked out the cost for the week with cash to spare.
