“Thanks again for going camping with your old mother,” she said as they finished eating.
“Oh, you’re not old. Let’s go rent a canoe this afternoon.”
“Okay, that’s a deal. I’ll make us up some cheeseburgers tonight after we get back.”
Paul was surprised, but he had a great time out on the lake paddling all over the place and exploring the little coves and beaches with his mom. They found one beach that was almost completely hidden from view until you were almost on it. It was there that they took a rest and some water.
“Are you doing okay, Mom?”
“Yes, I just forgot how much hard work this was,” she replied before taking a big drink.
She was still a little out of breath, even though Paul was trying to do all the work in the canoe.
Paul worried about his mother and her health. She had gained a lot of weight in the last couple of years. The dock master even had a hard time finding a life vest big enough to fit over her round belly and her enormous breasts. She had taken it off as they took their break. Paul caught himself glancing at her massive, heaving chest and turned away.
“You okay, dear? Your face is so red.”
“Yeah,” he said, getting up. “It’s just a little hot. We should head back.”
“You’re right. Here, help me up,” she said, holding up her hand for him.
Paul helped her to her feet. As he readied the canoe for the return trip to the dock, he looked over at his mother. She was having hard time with the clasps on her vest, and he couldn’t help but stare as she wiggled and jiggled and grunted and mashed her breasts together; squeezing the vest over her mountainous chest. It was a mesmerizing spectacle.
“Shit,” he muttered as he turned away. For the first time in his life, he had been perving on his own mother.
“All ready,” she said a moment later. “Let’s get back, I’m famished.”
They made it back to the dock in good time. Paul looked back at the western sky and saw some black clouds heading their way. Usually it was his father’s job to ready the campsite for any incoming storms, but it would be up to him this time.
When they got back to the campsite, Paul set about making sure the car windows were up, picking up anything that might blow or float away and rechecking that their tents were set up on good high ground. Satisfied, he went over to help finish setting up for dinner.
“Wow! Just last year, in fact, we would have been yelling and looking all over for you to help and now you’re doing everything on your own. I didn’t even notice the clouds over there till after you started putting everything up. Thank you,” said his mom.
“Oh. Well, you know. Dad’s not here and I figure I have to take care of all his duties on this trip.”
Paul’s mother looked down at the ground for a moment before continuing her preparations. It was quick and she recovered well, but Paul could see that his talking about his father had upset her. He didn’t know what to do.
They ate in silence and afterwards, he helped clear everything away. His mother went to the car to grab a couple of bags and Paul went to work on starting the fire.
