Main lead: well just want to know.
Mother: Well, it’s not something I’m proud of, and I’ll only say it once.
It was then I experienced a feeling I had never known before: a fizzing and a buzzing and certain giddiness, Not only with your dad, but with anywhere, at any time.
Well, I thought it must be love. But this puzzled me because your dad wasn’t very clever, and didn’t have much to say, except to exclaim how beautiful I was. Perhaps he was handsome? But no, looking in the magazines, I realized it wasn’t that either. But the feeling wouldn’t go away. Then, on a quiet night, your dad begged me for a kiss. The frizzing began and as he clutched me to him, I felt that I would never lover another, and yes he could kiss her and after that, they would marry.
Mother paused and she was overcome with emotion.
