Like a Living Doll

Grabbing a flashlight from the nightstand, Justin's mom went back under, on her back. With her face entirely between her son's ankles, she turned the light on and saw ... nothing. All she saw was smooth skin. There were no sex organs. Male *or* female. It was as if Justin was a human-sized living doll. "Mom? What is it?" Justin asked. He saw the bewildered and frightened look on her face. "It's um ... I'm not sure how to say this." "Yeah?" Now Justin was getting really nervous. "There's nothing there." "What? What's *that* supposed to mean?" "It means that it's just skin." "But, how is that possible?" He started to become even more frightened at that moment. "I don't know," his mom said. "Listen, Justin. You *have* to think. Did anything weird or different happen today? Anything at all?" "Well, there was *one* thing."
