Love Etcetera Dk

when she made hot coffee in the morning, winked at me said your breakfast is warming, I was dumbstruck and knew there was a flaw, This was not from wife but mother in law! When he lit my cigar, paid for dinner, said how good I was and such a winner, I was dumbstruck and knew there was a flaw, This was not my brother - father in law! when that night dear wife cuddled up to me, head on my chest and rubbed my tummy, I was dumbstruck when the truth hit me raw, can her parents please stay six months extra?
