A garage sale. James Chambers; Hen-pecked Husband, (step)father of three.

James saw the lamp sitting on a table at a garage sale in the middle of Whoknows, USA labeled two dollars. James placed two dollars in the glass jar and looked around to see if there was anything else worth buying from this random family's lawn.

James was browsing some musty old comics and finding a few surprisingly rare issues when Karen, his wife of almost twenty years called out "Alright gang, we have to go now if we are going to keep our schedule. That means now, Zoe."

"Alright. Jesus Mom, I am twenty years old, you can talk to me like it." Said Zoe, James's stepdaughter. Zoe had been a baby when James had met Karen. Karen did not talk about Zoe's father, it was something that was firmly off limits

"Dad, can we get this?" asked Connor.

"What do you think your mom would say?" which was James's way of saying 'out of my hands, but that is a big fat no' to his son showing him a box of old hustler magazines. "Where is June?" James asked his eighteen year old son and only biological child.

"Here, Daddy." Said James's nineteen year old adopted daughter. The ethnically Korean girl had found a bunch of bangles, belly chains, an armlet, and other exotic jewelry that accentuated the nineteen year old girls alluring beauty. James found it strange how he could look at this sexy young Asian girl while only seeing his sweet, innocent daughter.

"Mom, can I drive?" asked Connor.
"Ask your father." was Karen's answer.
"Dad?" Connor stared at his father. "I can do this. Come on. What was the point of all that practice if you are not going to let me try?"

"It is a lot of miles of country road." said June.
"No way! He will get us all killed." said Zoe.

"Can you promise to pull over before we get to the freeway?" Asked James as he dangled the keys to the RV and jangled them like he would to a toddler.
"Sure, but we are stopping for fried chicken." said Conner.

As Connor drove with Karen looking over his shoulder and the girls buried in their phones. James was in the back, in the bedroom, enjoying some private happy time. It had been God knows how long since Karen had let James touch her. The two slept looking away from one another with a pillow between them for years. James was watching a video to get himself in the mood when he remembered that lamp.
For a laugh, James put on a genie themed porn video, and taking a break from rubbing himself, decided to rub the lamp instead for a laugh.
