I am still going back and forth with myself on whether the following event that happened to my mother and I several years ago was simply fate or something more. An afternoon unwittingly turned into a humiliating situation ...at least my mother still thinks so.
On our way to Beatty, NV, from Long Beach, CA, traveling through the Mojave desert between Baker and Barstow proved to be a day not to be forgotten at. Having spent several hours on the road, the time was right to pull off the main road and take a break from the monotonous drive. Pulling off the main highway, going thirty minutes of dirt road traveling, we finally reached a spot that appeared to be quite remote ensuring we wouldn't be bothered by other families or sightseers. An hour or two of just sitting around under the hot sun, I grabbed my camera and began taking photos of the local scenery. Now joined by my mom, I thought it would be great if she were in some of the photos with the desert background. Agreeing with me, she stood back a few steps as I began clicking away. By this time, we had been under that sun close to two hours.
Taking several more photos of her with different backgrounds, I suddenly suggested more exciting photos would be a kick because she would most likely never get the chance again. Being more of a conservative mom, I kept at her until finally wearing her down assuring her nobody else was around for many, many miles. Not knowing exactly what I wanted to do, I remembered we had brought changes of clothes just in case we stopped in Vegas for a day or two to visit my brother. Seeing what she had packed, I asked her to change out of her blouse and shorts into what she would be wearing in Vegas if we go. Instead of listening to excuses why she didn't want to, she surprised me by simply agreeing. What seemed like an eternity passing, mom reappeared from the side of the vehicle dressed to kill...Wearing her short black skirt along with her white blouse was looking pretty hot...I also noticed she had put on black stockings, black low heels, and undid her hair so it was hanging down to her shoulders. This was more than I could have hoped for...I had a hard-on for Mom even before taking her photos.
