Surprise for Mother

"I'm home." She called, entering the house alone. She waited. No answer. 

The house was empty and quiet. Her family must have taken off somewhere, so she had it all to herself. It had been a long day at work and she could use some relaxation. She strolled up the stairs and turned the corner to her bedroom. She never felt the need to close the door as she undressed, confident that she was absolutely alone in her own home. She stepped inside her bathroom and flipped the knob on. Hot water fired out from the nozzle above. It felt soothing as it rinsed down her naked skin.

While the woman washed herself she was unaware that the front door unlocked itself. The door creaked open enough for an intruder to step in. He crept across the wood floor as quiet as a church mouse. A noise drew him upstairs where the woman was. With each creeping step, the intruder heard the running water from the bathroom. He grinned of the thought of his prey bathing.

Sure enough he could see clearly that someone was hidden behind a pale shower curtain, oblivious to his presence. Yet he wasn't alone either. Two others crept along at his sides. They were much shorter than him but they too had the same cruel smiles that was painted on his face. The trio slowly crept into the bathroom where the woman continued showering. The tall one whipped open the shower curtain. The woman turned to face her assailant. She screamed at what he and his small assistants had in their hands.

"Happy Mother's Day!" The three cheered. Two girls presented platefuls of pancakes and toast to her while her husband held up a video camera, recording every embarrassing minute.

"What the hell are you guys doing?!" Mrs. Gravely screamed, covering up her breasts and her lady parts with her hands.

"Mom, you owe a quarter to the swear jar," Her youngest daughter laughed.

"You better eat or breakfast will get cold," Her oldest daughter said.

"Wave to the camera, sweet cheeks!" her devil husband mocked.

Her face turned pale. Her eyes shrunk. The camera zoomed out on the large flat screen, where a large studio audience laughed and cheered as the footage ended. Mrs. Gravely sat in her large, cozy couch next to her coworker, Marcus Marlow, who laughed along with the audience. Mrs. Gravely covered her face as it blushed a humiliating red like a tomato after watching the video, which had been submitted to her show's annual Mother's Day prank videos. 

"Carmen, honey, I'm sorry," Marcus said, "But I gotta admit. Out of all the video submissions, that one is by far my favorite."

Mrs. Gravely knew she couldn't be mad at anyone. She too thought it was rather funny, and she couldn't help herself but laugh too.

"Oh just you wait, Marcus," She gave a nervous chuckle, then her eyes glared straight into the camera, "I got something better planned for Father's Day."

Happy Mother's Day!
