That stuff about '18 and you're out the door' is totally bogus (man). I understand there's no future in wearing Mr. Spock ears and playing Dungeons and Dragons or Wii in your parents' basement, but to be turned out of a home that had 2 extra bedrooms: Totally bogus (dude).
Here's the 'Four one one'. I turned 18 and was allowed one week to skedaddle. I had to go to a youth hostel (for hostile youths...trust me.) I had to grab a job changing truck tires on the turnpike. It was hard dangerous work.
One day I came back for some tax info, since I'd be filing separately now. Who should be there, playing bridge, but my loving mother and her three magpie friends? My mother had regaled them about the humor and tragedy of my ejection from home. Her friends were sympathetic to me, to my surprise. It could be that they were a pack of horny MILF's, including my mom. My mom had that common feeling about 'incest' and never so much as winked at me. The other women were of a different bent. They hooted and hollered since I had a good physique (those truck rims are heavy) and was not afraid to show it. When I came over to say hello (briefly), those hags were all over me like chimps overrunning an abandoned banana plantation. I was felt up, goosed, the whole nine yards. It was weird seeing the matronly hands of some society dame cupping my family jewels, weighing them as her 24 carat gold bracelet charms jangled. Another one squeezed my bulging biceps while the third found out what a young man's butt felt like. My mom looked on disapprovingly.
Mom: "Okay, ladies, you can return to the game. If any of you 'Tramps' want me to review the bidding or the card play for you, forget it..."
Mom was just as warm and fuzzy to them as she was to me, but at least she saved me from being groped to death.
Mom: "Oh, Jimmy, since you're here, before you go, can you take that pile of mail to the box down the street. You're a life saver, dear; it's great to see you. How are you getting along, anyway?"
It was nice that she asked, but her head was already back into the game. Her distracted partner had put her in six no trump even though mom had used precision to show a void in hearts. The opponents' lead: a four of hearts.
I finished up at my old home, grabbing my form 1099 and other tax forms received. I took that pile of mail. As I left, mom told me to be sure to get the mail in that box tonight, as her masquerade party was happening Super Sunday and upper class guests insisted on long lead times. I assured her I'd go straight there.
Well, maybe not. I went to the 'In and Out' for a couple of burgers, smothered in sautéed onions and the works. I parked in the shopping mall lot and started sorting the mail. My mother had banded the party invites together. I didn't recognize any of the names except the magpies in mom's bridge group and my mother's hairdresser. Sal (Salvatore) was a popular figure in local salons. My mom dragged me along when she couldn't find a sitter once. As I sat in the waiting room, impatiently reading a two year old copy of Vogue, I noted that he was almost a carbon copy of yours truly. Now if we were side by side, I was a bit taller, much better built, and much less curly-haired...but the general impression was of two brothers.
Well, I mailed every letter except the one to him. At home, I used a kettle's steam to open the letter to Sal. Sure enough, it was a nice raised gold leaf invitation to him for a masquerade party on Super Sunday. For football fans, there'd be a nice spread and a 60 inch plasma TV. For non-fans, there'd be a hot tub (this being southern California) and the same nice table of goodies. The key thing was that he was directed to a store in the [San Fernando] Valley and a specific mask. Okay, IT WAS ON. I was going to get that mask, go to that party, and somehow teach that 'murder of crows' a lesson.
I had to rent a Mercedes E350 for the night, as my mom would certainly have noticed my VW Golf, even in the dark. I gave my name (i.e. 'Sal') and was buzzed in at the gate. I had been careful to wear a long sleeve shirt and loose fitting casual slacks cobbled together from Ralph Lauren and Bill Blass. While the football fans started gathering before the mighty plasma screen, some 45 minutes before kickoff, the non-fans were outside on the pool patio. As it turned out, everyone including their spouses was going to watch the game. That is, with the exception of my mother and her circle of vultures. I was delighted, as I couldn't very well conduct my plan with twenty or thirty non-fans gathered in a small herd. Four women I could handle, MILF's every one of them.
As the kickoff ensued, Carla (one of the four women in our non-fan group) told 'Sal' (i.e. me) that I could go into my mother's room after the ladies were finished. There, they'd have something for me to put on for the hot tub. I waited for them, watching one of those horrible, self-indulgent, Super Bowl ads. It was 'so clever' (sic) that I couldn't figure out the company or its product.
My turn came up as Beth, another of the non-fans, told me she had been the last to change. I went in, seeing a thick, blue, velour robe. The rest of the stuff laid out for me to wear: nothing. It was strictly birthday suits. My plan was on a roll...
I climbed into the hot tub (I think they were legally required for homes in the Southland.) It was a big tub, with jets so powerful they could move a Princess Cruise line ship. I noticed that Carla 35, Beth 43, Darlene 50, as well as my mother 39, had tanked up at the open bar. Each of them had had an hour long head start and each had cocktails in hand—with chasers nearby.
