John noticed this was the third time over breakfast his daughter stole a look at him from across the table.
"Something the matter, dear?" he asked, placing down his newspaper on his lap.
He was amused when Emily gasped at being discovered and looked quickly away.
"Sweetie, it's OK......I'm your Dad, you can tell me anything!" he offered. "I don't bite!"
"Daddy....." she whined playfully, sliding forward in her chair and turning red as a tomato.
Clasping her hands nervously in her lap under the table and with eyes still floored, Emily asked softly "Promise you won't get mad at me....?"
"Yes, honey."
"....and you swear to promise to help me out, no matter what??" Emily continued, shyly lifting her head.
John hesitated briefly but quickly gave in to his daughters large, beautiful pleading eyes. "Yes, Sweetie...I swear to help NO MATTER WHAT!!"
In a cute move, Emily sat back up and leaned in with an outstretched pinky. "Let's shake on it, then...shall we??"
"What is this about anyways?" he asked smiling, as his pinky curled around hers.
Emily shyly took her finger away, planted her elbows on the table and cupped her face with her hands. Taking in one deep breath, she quickly muttered "Dad, may I taste your sperm?"
Before John could even flinch, Emily kept up the onslaught. "Look, Dad...it's not what you think! You see, Norman is coming back from months of deployment tonight and I plan on surprising him with my very first swallow...and try not to throw up all over myself!"
"Besides, next Tuesday marks our third year together....so I think giving him one is WAY LONG OVERDUE!!"
"See, if Mom stuck around I would have asked her about her experience and all, but she isn't! So.....HERE I AM, DAD!!"
"Hey listen, Man...if it will make it any easier for you, I'll just work on you with my hands....SOUND GOOD???"
