A good mood

“I can hear that you’re awake up there sweetie! I’ve cooked breakfast for you, so make sure to get dressed back into that cute little outfit you had on last night before coming down! And remember, I only wanna hear that ditzy voice of yours today!”, Charlene shouted up to her son.

Andrew’s vain hopes that Charlene would have forgotten her punishment were for naught, so he reluctantly got changed back into the dress and lingerie and made his way downstairs.

Andrew was surprised to see Charlene’s mood had improved from the previous night, being downright chipper as she went about her morning routine and served breakfast, saying “Eat up! You’ve got a big day ahead of you, and we’ve got a whole lot of mother-daughter bonding to fit in!”.

Andrew opened his mouth to thank Charlene, but upon making eye contact, he could see the veiled malice of her rage which would be unleashed if Andrew did not portray her spunky daughter, alongside the glee of seeing her son suffer in such a way, and so remembered to put on his Andrea voice, replying “Thanks Mommy, this all looks, like, totally yummy…”.

“I’m glad you approve, hun! Make sure to brush your teeth, wash your face and put on some toner and moisturiser after you’ve done eating; we’ve got to get your face back to looking like yesterday’s sexy teen girl before we can hit the mall”, Charlene said before disappearing to get herself ready.

Andrew’s sense of despair took away much of his appetite, so he ended up throwing away most of his breakfast and reluctantly went to freshen himself up, brushing his teeth and washing and deodorising key areas before applying the toner and moisturiser as instructed.

Charlene was waiting for him outside the bathroom and carolled Andrew to her bedroom, sitting her son down at the large ornate vanity.
