"Hitch up your skirts honey, show Mummy!"
He could have just pulled it down or even just tell her and save his blushes but she wanted to go under the skirt. The opening he would take great pains to cover all day. Psychological. He didn't know her reason. His sister had seen him naked every day, and his mother had seen his underwear every day, yet this was still awkward.
"Y-yes Mama..."
He hitched up his skirts, holding them there and giving his mother a view of his knickers.
She bit her lip, this was all too much, she was welling up again at his fragility and obedience.
"Matching. That must have been Amy's idea!"
"Yes it was!" said Amy, proudly.
"Do you like your outfit christopher?"
He peered over to Amy, his Mama. She nodded.
"Yes Mummy very much Mummy" was the expected response. No enthusiasm, but softness, nervousness, to convey the weakness Amy wanted.
"And do you like Amy being in charge? Isn't it better this way?"
Oh gosh, this would hurt, because again, he was once again making things difficult for later.
He looked over and waited for her permission to speak. "Y-yes Mummy, I love my Mama being in charge." He said softly.
After the usual fussing over him, and the normal breakfast, he was led upstairs to her room. She sat him down and put on Sofia the First, a show about a Princess for small children. Then she grabbed her toys and the tea set, setting them out.
"Mama has some things to do this morning. kitten. She showed you how to play tea party yesterday, can you remember?" She asked, patronisingly.
He nodded. Of course he did. He was fed up of being soft and gentle. His mother wasn't around. He whined.
"I don't wanna play that. Can't I play hide and seek again?! I've been good!" He said, yawning.
"Oh honey, you need two for that. You'll have a good time with your dolls!"
He planned on dropping them as soon as she left the room.
"Oh, if you need her, Mama will be back and forth so just wait until you see me okay? I always wanted you like this, so I'm going to film it again. Play nice okay?"
Did she do that on purpose? Or did she really want to watch him play tea party?
She cleared her throat and raised her eyebrows. He started to play, offering Rapunzel first tea, Amy melted and mouthed "so cute", before picking a few of the bags up. and taking them out of the room.
He made sure to play the silly game, it's not like he could do much else anyway. It was so humiliating, but he knew how to make it look like he was a normal girl,, and also kept an eye on the infantile television.
Periodically, Amy would go back and forth, asking him what was going on in the show and what his dolls were saying as she did.
"Would you wike some more tea Pwincess Elsa?" were the words on his lips as his Mother came in and caught him pouring. He groaned inwardly. What a time to come in!
She said an audible "Awww!" and sat beside him, patting him. "Where's your Mama, sweetie? I know you need her for everything now." She said that in absolute seriousness. No hint of a joke.
