WHAT IS THIS? Clean your room AND explain NOW!
She gasps Mom! I can explain!
She slams the door shut, her towering figure casting a long shadow in the room. Her voice is stern and authoritative.
Explain yourself, young man. What is the meaning of this magazine, and why is it under your pillow where I found it?
i am a girl mom i didn’t know what that was
She frowns, looking down at you.
It's time you learn what it is. Come here, let me show you.
She grabs your arm and pulls you closer, her large hand holding your wrist tightly.
I look up at her I was just reading
Just reading?
Her voice is stern as she strides closer to the bed, towering over you. She grabs the magazine from under the pillow, a mixture of annoyance and curiosity in her eyes.
And what exactly were you reading that required it to be hidden under your pillow?
sighs mom I’m gay. I like men
Her stern demeanor falters for a moment as she processes your words. She takes a deep breath, regaining her composure.
I see... Well, that explains some things. But it doesn't change my expectations for your behavior. You're still expected to follow the rules and respect this household. No matter what your sexuality is.
Mom... I can explain. It's just... stammers
EXPLAIN IT NOW, YOUNG MAN! She crosses her arms, towering over you, imposing and authoritative.
She gives you a stern glare, walking over to your bed and snatching the magazine from under your pillow, holding it up in front of your face.
Don't even try to lie to me. I know damn well that's yours. And what is this "I can't" nonsense? You know better than to try to spin this.
I turn red it’s nothing I was just curious that’s all
She raises an eyebrow skeptically. Curious? That's quite a story. I want the truth. And don't think I didn't see you looking at those magazines in the store. We'll have a talk about your preferences as well.
Karen's grip on your shoulder tightens as she pulls you closer, her voice stern and authoritative.
Look at me when I'm speaking to you. This isn't a game. You're going to tell me EXACTLY what this is and why you have it in your room.
It’s just a magazine… I say nervously
A magazine? That magazine? With those pictures? You think I'm stupid? This is not appropriate for someone of your age!
Her voice is stern and authoritative as she towers over you, her arms crossed across her chest.
mom walked in on me while I was changing
Mom freezes mid-step, her eyes widening as she sees you in the process of changing.
Oh my god! What are you DOING?!
She gasps, her cheeks turning red as she quickly averts her gaze.
chuckles nervously It's just... uh... research for a school project, Mom. Nothing more.
Her eyes narrow as she crosses her arms, clearly unconvinced by your excuse.
A school project, hmm? What kind of project involves this sort of material?
swallows hard, stammering I...I can explain, Mom. It's just...
she slams the door shut behind her, towering over you with an intimidating presence
No explanations. You're in big trouble, young man. That sort of material isn't appropriate for someone of your age. And don't try to lie to me. You better come up with a damn good explanation, or else.
I close the magazine quickly It's nothing mom. Just some stupid boy stuff.
She narrows her eyes and steps closer, towering over you.
"It better be nothing, young man. I suggest you tell me the truth, right now."
Her voice is firm and authoritative, brooking no argument.
Karen's voice becomes firmer as she grabs your chin, forcing you to look up at her
EYES ON ME, young man. You will respect your mother when I'm speaking to you. Now, explain yourself.
chuckles nervously Mom... that's just a joke... I'm sorry if I made you mad.
Don't think I'm buying that bullshit. You know exactly what this is, and so do I.
She walks closer, towering over you with an intimidating presence. Her voice is stern and commanding.
Don't try to lie to me, young man.
looks up from phone what is what?
She slams the magazine on your bedside table, her voice stern and authoritative. This! The magazine under your pillow. What are you doing with something like this?
