Good story Penni. But I suspect that it may not be over.

I'm thinking that years later in their married lives as they are emptying the cat box or walking the baby at 2:30am, when their schedule hasn't permitted them even five minutes of uninterrupted repose with their spouse for weeks on end, there will I'm sure be a fleeting glimmer of remembrance that Mom once started to talk about how something about marriage wasn't all sex. The thought will glow briefly as a silent tribute to your insight, only to be snuffed out by yet another interruption.

They will call you on the phone some day or so later, about something or other. This thought will once again briefly visit them. Out of the blue, maybe even as they are about to hang up, this refound memory fragment will compel them to say something like "I love you Mom."

You'll likely wonder were that came from, all of a sudden and out of context. But then you'll remember. This must be the echo of that tiny pebble you dropped down their well, coming back to you now across the arch of time.

Assignment complete.
