After a night of seemingly satisfactory lovemaking, the next morning finds Consolation Husband kissing Junior and Girl goodbye and scurrying to the office.  Girl begins preparing breakfast for Junior, whilst pondering the events of the night before.  Why had Dinner Guest asked her how well she knew her husband?  Why did Consolation Husband and Dinner Guest seem to be keeping something from her?  Why did Consolation Husband act as if everything were okay, after Dinner Guest left?  And why, oh why, could he never try anything NEW in the bedroom?

As she feeds Junior his baby cereal and bananas, Girl calls her mother.

"Hi Mom, it's just me."

"Good morning, dear.  Is everything alright?"

"Yes, everything's fine.  I just...Well, okay, something is on my mind."

"Out with it.  You know you'll feel better if you just talk to Mama."

"You're right.  And it's probably nothing.  Last night, Consolation Husband had a co-worker over for dinner.  Afterwards, the three of us were conversing in the living room, and Consolation Husband had to take a phone call in the other room.  While he was gone, the co-worker seemed to...I don't know...Things just got a little weird.  He was standing awfully close to me, and then he asked me exactly how well I knew my husband."

"Oh, my!"

"I KNOW!  Right after he asked me that, Consolation Husband re-entered the room, and the co-worker acted as if the question had never even been posed."

"Oh, sweetie, he was FLIRTING with you!  Were you wearing your cashmere sweater?"

"Well, yes, but..."

"You've just been married for so long. You've forgotten how men behave in the presence of beautiful females.  Oh darling, don't you worry your pretty little head over that.  You just make it clear to this gentleman that you are spoken for, and don't think another thing about it."

"Okay.  But then, Mom, after I left the room, I overheard the men saying..."

"Just a minute, dear, I'm afraid I have another call.  Do you mind holding for a minute?"

"Actually, Mom, I really should clean Junior up and get out the door. We'll be late for Mommy and Me class.  I'll just talk to you later.  Love you, Mom."

"Love you too, dear."  Mom ends her conversation with Girl, and clicks over to her other call.

"Hello?  Oh, hi.  I just had a very interesting conversation that I'm sure will be of particular interest to you..."
