It was a little porny, but not that genre.

I was tired, having driven from London that day. My not yet elderly mother had gone to the piano bar on her own.

I was awakened by a knocking at my door by two women I didn't recognize. They explained they'd met my mother who had told them about me who was alone alone in my room across the street on my birthday. My first thought, was that my mother got me prostitutes for my birthday. I accompanied them across the street to the bar, and then back to hers. They weren't prostitutes, school teachers.

I'm sorry man, but you've left me dazed and bemused. Why doesn't my mom ever do something this nice for me? Best she's done so far is send along arranged marriage proposals, and not directly to my bedroom.

It was the only time, though she was very friendly and a bit maudlin when she'd drink.
