SergeantX and my mother

Wednesday, January 28, 2004 6:28 AM

I had my mother and father over for dinner last weekend. We dished up the mashed potatoes and then watched a Firefly DVD episode called "Ariel." It was great.

But half-way through the show, I realized that my mother was gone, vanished from the living room. I looked at my dad, and he just shrugged and turned back to the TV.

I got up and tip-toed to my computer room. My mother was sitting at my desk, typing away. To my surprise, I could see she was typing on Fireflyfans.net.

"Mom, what are you doing?" I asked. She shrieked and turned off the monitor.

"Nothing... I thought you were watching Firefly," she said in a strained voice.

"I am. I was. I mean, what's up? Are you chatting on Fireflyfans.net?" I couldn't believe my eyes.

My mother looked guilty. "I've met a nice man. His name is SergeantX. He treats me right. I'm divorcing your father."

I couldn't believe it. I wish I never showed Firefly to my parents. It made my mom have an affair with SergeantX and then divorce my dad. Curse you, Joss Whedon!
