#  Right when my fingers started to slip inside my underwear…

![“Right when my fingers started to slip inside my underwear, I opened my eyes and screamed. &quot;HOLY SHIT!&quot; My son stood there next to the bed just staring at me. Seriously, two inches from my face just staring at me like those creepy twins in &quot;The Shining.&quot; I waited for him to start saying, &quot;Come play…” quote by Tara Sivec](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/7a6/tara-sivec-2248_heart-attack_right-when-my-fingers-started-to-slip-in_1746504.jpg)   [Download](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/7a6/tara-sivec-2248_heart-attack_right-when-my-fingers-started-to-slip-in_1746504.jpg) [Open image](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/7a6/tara-sivec-2248_heart-attack_right-when-my-fingers-started-to-slip-in_1746504.jpg)

> ““Right when my fingers started to slip inside my underwear, I opened my eyes and screamed.     "HOLY SHIT!"     My son stood there next to the bed just staring at me. Seriously, two inches from my face just staring at me like those creepy twins in "The Shining." I waited for him to start saying, "Come play with us" in their freaky twin voices while I tried not to have a heart attack.     "Gavin, seriously. You can't just stand here and stare at mommy. It's weird," I grumbled as I put my hand to my aching head and tried to calm my pounding heart.       Sweet Jesus, who kicked me in the head and shit in my mouth last night?     "You said a bad word, Mommy,””
