Home for the Holidays

Sometimes you have to kick them out.
She'll die a wrinkled old virgin!
Some go willingly,
You idiot!  Did you miss something?
others are forced.
She's married.
For some reason
Who's she seeing now?
they always come back.
Fred--Fred--Bill--Fred.
The impromptu gathering of the clan
was the first in over a year.
No way.
Time had been needed.
Never have sex to music,
for healing the rift.
it screws the rhythm.
The youngest and oldest
What are you doing with my son?
led the way.
Corrupting him?  Good!
New and old flowed together
Yes!  Go for it, Mom!
like no time had passed.
