Little Too Late


Little Too Late
By Author Unknown

He knew he was in trouble as he came up the drive that night and saw the familiar sedan in the drive. He shuddered to think what was coming. As he entered the foyer, he could hear laughing coming from the living room. His mom had guest(s) over, and he was hoping it wasn't a particular person.
As he walked toward the living room, the laughing got louder and now he could make out two voices. He came around the corner and saw the two people he'd hoped not to see.....his mom and her sister sitting side by side chatting about the day's events. It wouldn't be so bad, except they were twins, and both had a foot odor problem. At this point, he wasn't even sure which was which, he'd always had a problem telling them apart.
They both looked up and saw him standing in the doorway. One said 'well, it's about time you got here!', w/ the other chiming in 'where've you been?' Before he could answer, one said 'because you're not home on time, you have to spend some time w/ us!' at which point they looked at each other and smiled a knowing smile.
He sat on the couch as one continued talking...'we know all about your problem! we know how you've been sniffing socks and all the other stuff'. The other interrupted her 'do you like feet? Becuase we have 4 of 'em here for you'
He began to say 'no', when they both put their bare feet up on stools and started laughing. He could already smell the foot odor. One said 'they've been in Keds w/ no socks ALL DAY!' The other said 'better get started, there's a lot of feet here to smell!' He got up to leave, and they both got up w/ him and blocked his way. One got on either side. The one on the left said 'you were told to do something, and since you don't seem to want to do it willingly...' the other continued 'we'll have to do it the hard way!'
He knew he could fight his way out, but they were both slighly heavyset women, and for that matter, something inside always submitted to them.
He laid down on the floor. One said 'we have a footstool!' and stepped on his face barefoot. They were both laughing at his dilemma. The other twin put her foot on top of the first foot and said 'breathe deeply!' He inhaled the foot stink of two bare feet and it was almost more than he could take. 'I'm getting tired of standing, let's get some chairs'. They brought up 2 chairs to sit in and sat one on either side about arm level. They sat down and one said to the other 'ready?' The other nodded, and they looked down at him and smiled. He looked up at both of them, still unable to tell them apart. One said 'we need you to answer a question for us' and the other finished 'if twins' feet smell the same'.
With that one bare foot was placed on his nose and held there for a bit. 'hows that?' she asked. All he could stammer was a moan. Then she moved her foot to the side slightly and her sister put ANOTHER bare foot next to hers. At this point they both began yelling commands at him...'SNIFF HARDER! BREATHE DEEP!' often both at once. The two feet parted and a third was placed between them. They both continued talking to him at once, asking questions and yelling orders.
Then the worst part finally came, a fourth foot was piled onto the other 3! They started moving all 4 bare feet around his face, laughing the entire time. The smell was BEYOND BELIEF!! It would've been bad enough w/ 2, but FOUR!!! And they did all smell the same, which made it that much worse!
Toes were shoved up his nose, soles were rubbed accross his nose, 2 or even3 at a time. He kept begging them to stop, but this went on for hours! One said "I love being a twin!" and they laughed.
After a time, they finally let him up and sat down in their chairs as if nothing had happened.
One looked at him and said "be on time tomorrow!"......
And our story continues.....
