Awkwardly for dad

Dad gave us a confused look as he saw mom sitting next to me. Apparently, he didn't care enough to ask and sat at his seat and we all started enjoying dinner. Most of dinner was uneventful with dad just talking about his day and bragging about all the deals he was making at work. It was while talking about work though that dad had bad news for mom. You could tell he was bracing himself for mom's anger.

"By the way Tabitha, I know, I know I promised you that we would go to Cancun for our anniversary, but an important client invited me to a golf tournament and I cannot afford to turn him down."

I could see utter disappointment on mom's face. "Aden... you promised. I mean, we rescheduled this trip THREE TIMES already."

Dad looked determined to try and make things right. "Listen, I know. I'm sorry. I promise that this is the last time. We will go on that trip. I swear."

Sensing it was the perfect time to change the conversation, and tell dad about today, it was time for me to interject. "Hey dad, why don't we talk about something else. I had a big day today too."

Eager to move on dad turned his attention to me. "Well, what's that junior?"

I didn't even get a chance to say. Mom was too proud and exited about the news. Putting a hand on my shoulder and now smiling, "It seems our boy is a stud. He's now dating one of the girls at his school!"

Dad was now proud too. "Atta boy, kiddo! Becoming just like your old man! What's the lucky girls name? Come on, tell us about her!"

Now it was time to make something up. "Well, her name is Gabby and she is the head cheerleader. She's really pretty and we've been dating for a few weeks now."

"Way to go son! You're becoming a man! It won't be long until you are bringing our grandkids over to visit!"

"ADEN!" Mom couldn't help but laugh as dad teased. "I am not ready to be a grandmother anytime soon, thank you!"

As dad was chuckling it was time to ruin the fun. "Mom has been great!" I reached to my left and held mom's hand in mine. "She is giving me so much great dating advice!"

"You know, son. I dated plenty when I was your age. You can always come to your old man for advice."

"Yeah, dad. I know you can. But, mom can teach me things that you can't." Dad looked confused again as I continued. "Like just earlier mom was teaching me how to be a good kisser!"

"What?"

"Yeah, dad. She is a great teacher! Look!"

With that, I turned to mom and put a hand behind her head as I leaned in and started making out with her. I saw her eyes go wide and felt her hand squeeze mine then she quickly relaxed and closed her eyes as we frenched right in front of dad. After a good minute, I pulled back and turned back to dad as I could hear mom's heavy breathing next to me and see her blushing.

Dad was clearly surprised and uncomfortable with what was going on. "Now, I know you are just trying to learn, but I don't think it is appropriate for you and mom to be kissing like that."

"Why not?" It was time to act like this was all perfectly normal. "We are just kissing and mom and I love each other. She is just teaching me that's all. Why would it be wrong for moms and sons to kiss?"

"Well, I just don't think-"

"Mom, do you mind? I really love kissing you. Can you tell dad it's all ok?"

I was caressing mom's leg under the table as she reassured dad. "Aden. It's fine. I think you are just overreacting."

"See dad?"

"Well, I..."

Ignoring dad I just turned back to mom. "Thanks, mom, for that great dinner." I kissed her again. "I'm going to go study."

Leaving the table dad was still there a bit surprised at what just happened while I saw mom smiling (as well as those pokies she had clearly visible on her tight t-shirt.
