What was my mom hiding behind her raincoat ?
A most bizarre part of my childhood just popped up in my memory form nowhere, I am genuinely hoping that I could get some answers form y'all for I have been neglecting these memories for too long.
It all started when my step-dad left for a one month long business trip when I was about 12 or 13 years old. Mom mom had to take over the family owned diner adjacent to our house till he was back. At the time there were 4 men working in the diner and my mom would be the acting manager of the diner and supervise them.
I spent around an hour after school in the diner, because there was nothing else to do. Let me start off by telling you that my mom was an absolute bitch to the four workers she would sit in front of the register all day and yell at the four guys in the most rude way possible. As I recall, except for one of them who was in his early 20s, the other three workers were in their late 30s or early 40s. However my mom was in her early 30s BTW and looked a lot young for her age.
Things started to get bizarre after the first week. All of a sudden my mom started by being nice to the four workers, she didn't boss them around and she even helped out with the cleaning and waiting the tables.
A few days later it seemed that she did all the work, while all four of the men sat in front of the cash register which made no sense at all! My mom would call all of them sir and they would boss her around and call her by her first name and sometimes even cat call her. My mom even made me call them all sir!
However the most craziest thing happened one weekend, when I went there for a visit, the diner had it's closed sign on but there was one worker near the cash register. When I asked where my mom was he said that she and the other men were in the kitchen "cooking" and when I inquired the kitchen was locked but I indeed heard sounds from the inside. When leaving the man handed me a garbage bag and asked me to dump it on my way out. Though the bag didn't seem like it had garbage inside it. Instead it was my moms clothes and even her underwear. I was so confused, so in that case what was my mom wearing while she was in the kitchen.
I waited home for her and when she did turn up late, she was in an old rain coat although it wasn't raining outside. She didn't even take it off at the door and persisted to wear it to her room. When I asked her what was under her raincoat she didn't answer, and when I asked her who gave her the raincoat she replied "one of my masters gave it to me"
This event repeated itself for the remainder of the month and I'm confused to this day about what was going on - please be kind enough to let me know your thoughts about this, and tell me what you think really happened?
