The sun had barely risen, casting a soft glow over the family kitchen as Alex shuffled in, still half-asleep. His mother, Martha, sat at the kitchen table, a stern expression on her face.
"Alex, come here, dear," she called out, patting the seat next to her.
Alex obeyed, yawning widely as he took his seat. "What's up, Mom?"
Martha took a deep breath before delivering her news. "I've been thinking, Alex, and I've decided it's time for you to learn a little responsibility and respect."
Alex raised an eyebrow. "Responsibility and respect? I thought I already had those."
Martha chuckled, shaking her head. "Oh, honey, you have no idea. That's why I've come up with a new way to teach you."
She paused for dramatic effect, enjoying the look of confusion on Alex's face. "You'll be taking on chores and tasks typically done by women in this house."
Alex's eyes widened in shock. "What? No way! That's not fair!"
Martha leaned back in her chair, a smug smile on her lips. "Life isn't fair, Alex. And besides, you're a clueless boy who can't even wipe his own ass properly."
Before Alex could protest further, his father, John, entered the kitchen, looking confused. "What's going on here?" he asked, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
Martha explained the new arrangement, and John's confusion quickly turned to disapproval. "Now, wait just a minute, Martha. I don't think that's a good idea."
Martha shot him a playful look. "Jealous that I thought of it first, John?"
John rolled his eyes, but said no more.
Just then, Alex's sister, Jessica, walked in, snickering at Alex's new role. "Looks like someone's going to be a sissy from now on," she taunted.
Martha scolded Jessica, telling her she should be setting a better example for her brother. Jessica reluctantly agreed to help Alex learn how to do the laundry properly, but not without making snide comments along the way.
As Alex gathered the laundry and began sorting it, Jessica entered the room again, making fun of him for not knowing the difference between colors and whites. Martha overheard and scolded Jessica once more, reminding her that she should be a better influence.
Martha then gave Alex his next task: to cook dinner for the family. Alex's frustration grew, but Martha playfully told him that he would thank her one day.
John watched from the doorway, growing more attracted to Alex with each passing moment. Martha noticed and playfully taunted him, saying he should be careful or he might start to enjoy having a sissy son.
The chapter ended with Martha giving Alex a final playful insult, "Looks like we have a new sissy in the house, and I'm not talking about the dog."
