Input: Text: i’ll preface this with a bit of backstory: i’m a guy, i work full time in the city but live at home in the suburbs with my very catholic parents. a couple of years ago my mum suffered a bout of viral encephalitis so her brain isn't really 100% but she’s still my mum. sometimes she makes mistakes but we still let her do the day to day things she used to do, like iron clothes and make dinner. mum stuff.

anyway, this morning i’m drying my hair getting ready for work and mum opens my bedroom door.

“dokkanosaur, do you want this hair brush? i don’t really use it.” i’m still sort of waking up so this caught me off guard. “uh, i guess? i’ll just put it in the bathroom if you don’t want it”, i reply. i thought that was a sweet gesture so i said thanks anyway explained where i’d leave it, just in case mum decided she wanted it back. 

“i’ll just put it here in this drawer, okay?” i suggest. “you can put it anywhere you want to, son.” i’m not really sure what she means by that. “sure, okay. love you mum.” i attempt to hug my mother but she resists a bit.

“is everything okay? don’t you want to hug your son?” i usually play this game with her, she’s a bit of a sulk so i like to brighten things up with a hug every now and then. she turns to me... “i’m just a bit concerned about you, that’s all”. not the response i expected...

“why? what’s wrong?”... 
she responds with “i don’t really have the words now.”

ouch. okay now i’m really confused. i’m running late for work so i can’t really press this issue any further. skip ahead 15 minutes and i’m on the bus when i get a text from my brother:

“hahahahaha mum thinks your gay”

oh shit, that’s awkward. what now, reddit?

nb: i am straight and very comfortable with my sexuality. i’ve spent most of my adult life in a relationship with one girl or another (23/m/aus, recently single, feel free to hit me up, ladies). if i was gay, i’d have no shame in it and would have plenty of support from friends and family.

TIFU by accepting a hair brush from my mother.
