My Wife is a Sassy Queen

When everyone was seated in the living room, Liliana gathered the kids.

She did not want to be the one to explain what ‘gay’ meant, so she called them when Jonathan, James, and Mariana were there.

Jonathan was always better at explaining awkward stuff to the kids – like their bedroom activities.

The three kids, aware they would be getting a new lesson, gathered around.

Liliana went straight to the point, “Have you guys heard the word gay?”

Jonathan looked at her quizzically and shook his head. He could vividly see that she was unsure how to explain, so she gathered them around him, Mer and James.

Mariana was excited. She always had fun teaching new stuff to the kids. It made her think about things from a new perspective.

James did not know why they were explaining such stuff to the kids. It was not his place to meddle, so he kept mum.

Nathaniel explained, “One of the meanings is happy. I did not read the other one because Aunty Jen said if I see the word sex, I should stop reading.”

Joyanna shook her head, “I have not heard, Mommy.”

Liliana looked at Jonathan silently, begging him to explain.

Jonathan looked at the kids and pretended not to see her expression.

Liliana knew he was doing it on purpose and tugged his arm.

Jonathan leaned in and whispered, “I will take over if you promise to take the initiative tonight.”

They had not had sex since her birthday. It had been almost a month since then, and Jonathan felt starved.

Liliana looked at him wide-eyed, “Are you serious? They are your kids.”

“I am your husband. And we have not done it in ages.” He whispered his grievances.

Liliana looked at him agape, “You can’t use our kids like that.”

Jonathan shrugged. His wife did not have that many buttons for him to push.

Liliana could only agree, “Fine!”

Jonathan smirked and turned to the kids.

They were holding their laughter. It was not very often that Liliana did not know how to do something and had to take help.

Jonathan explained, “You know how boys and girls are different from each other – in a sense, they are opposite of the other, right?”

The kids nodded.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Jonathan added, “Similarly, gay is for boys, and lesbian is for girls. And both of them have the same opposite – straight.”

The kids looked at him quizzically.

He continued, “When a person is straight – you get mommy and daddy – like your mommy and me. When a person is gay, you get two daddies. When a person is lesbian, you get two mommies.”

Everyone looked at him curiously.

Jonathan asked, “Are you with me?”

Jo shook her head. She did not get it at all.

Kyle concentrated on processing the words.

He could not think of an example. He understood best with examples.

Li had his brows furrowed. After some time, he asked.

“Daddy, does that mean – straight people marry girls and boys? Gay people marry boy and boy, and lesbian people marry girl and girl?”

Jonathan nodded, “Yes.”

Li asked in confusion, “So gay people are from a different city with this tradition?”

Jonathan was speechless.
