She wore an itsy bitsy teeny weeny...

Despite Julie's initial unease about Eric and Lucas's strange behavior, she tried to remain calm and composed, hoping that her suspicions were just her imagination running wild. One day, as Julie was making dinner in the kitchen, Eric and Lucas entered the room, holding a small device about the size of a garage door opener, with a single button on it.

"Hey, Mom, we were thinking it would be fun if you wore that yellow bikini you have in the closet. What do you think?" Eric asked, pressing the button on the device.

Julie paused for a moment, considering the request. She had never worn the bikini before, but for some reason, the idea of wearing it seemed exciting to her.

"Sure, why not? That sounds like a great idea," Julie said, feeling a sudden sense of enthusiasm.

As she put on the bikini, Julie felt a rush of excitement. She loved how it looked on her and couldn't believe she had never worn it before. Eric and Lucas watched with amazement as she walked into the living room, looking stunning.

"Wow, Mom, you look amazing! I can't believe you've been hiding this from us," Eric said, grinning.

Julie felt a sense of pride at her son's compliment. She had never felt so confident in herself before. Maybe she had been wrong about the boys. Maybe she had misheard them. After all, they had been right on the same wavelength as her about the bikini. Pushing the worries of manipulation away, she returned to her meal prep, enjoying the feel of her new outfit.
