When I was about 12 we went on a family holiday to NZ. While in Wellington, my mother took a photograph of a tree whose blossoms she admired. In the background of the photograph there was a house.

Twenty years later I moved to Wellington for work. The house that I rented turned out to be the same one in the background of the photograph.

I find out she used to live next door to my aunt and that she and her family still lives in the same house. That’s when I realize **it this girl whose cat gave birth to the kitten my parents had got for us back in 1975!**

So, what you are saying is that you’ve gotten pussy from your mother in law and your wife. Kinky.

I never thought this would happen to me.
