Not long after our marriage, Ali and I went to visit my Mom.
Ali has a list of complaints...
POOF!
In a cloud of smoke, a Genie appears in front of me, and intones,
"I am the Genie of Fantasy. I can not make you rich or famous, but I CAN put you into any fantasy world you wish. You can stay in the fantasy world as long as you want... you can say the words, "Teenie Genie, take me home" or if you fall asleep, you'll return to this real world, and only one minute in real time will have passed."
I eagerly tell him what I want.
POOF!
Mom and Ali were starting dinner, in the kitchen.
Mom said, "Jay, a little help in here, please."
I was watching a game on t.v. and yelled back, "Okay, in just a minute."
After thirty seconds, Mom yelled out, JAY GET IN HERE NOW."
I jumped up and went to the kitchen.
Mom was seated in a chair, holding a BIG brush.
"Strip NAKED and get over here."
I mouth fell open.
"When I, or your wife, tell you to do something, you will do it IMMEDIATELY. 'In just a minute' is NOT acceptable."
And so...
"Now get up," she said, "And stay naked while you help us with what we need to get done."
With tears in my eyes and a throbbing bottom, I got up and helped as directed.
Once the roast was in the oven, Mom said, "Go stand in the corner until it's ready."
I went and stood.
When dinner was served, Mom said, "Still naked...but get a towel to sit on."
And we sat and ate.
After wards, I saw Mom look at Ali, and nod at me, and Ali said, "Now, Jay, you may put on your briefs and socks, then go clean up the dinner dishes, along with the pots and pans in the kitchen."
I nodded, and got to work.
