The Kids Grow Up by Trish Hanan (novel24 .TXT) 📖

do is teach them to be safe. After all, they see us exchanging partners on a regular basis and having overnight guests and know about our sex parties. What do we expect? Our children will copy our behavior and do the same thing we are doing,” he preached and a lot of people began to fill uncomfortable. Max laughed.
“Well, if that’s the case, Harry, all of your sons are going to be gay,” he teased and he and Charles laughed. Harry rolled his eyes.
“That would be fine with me, Max, I happen to love gay men,” he told him and everyone laughed. Carl stood up.
“Maybe one of my sons will marry one of your sons, Harry, that would be terrific,” he declared and Jenna nodded. Kate beamed.
“Thank you, Carl, I’d like that too,” Harry told him and Carl looked pleased.
“So this is the solution, we do nothing,” Linda snapped. Max sighed.
“I suggest we start a sex education program in school and teach these kids some responsibility about sex and since Harry’s so gung ho about it, let’s make him the damned teacher,” he suggested and everyone agreed. Harry shrugged; he had no problem talking about sex. Jake grinned; these people didn’t know what they were getting into.
Harry started Sex Ed the next day and all the kids were blown away with all the facts he told them and awed about the casual way he talked about it. They told their brothers and sisters about it and the sixteen year-olds who had moved out and graduated came back to school just to take that class. He even gave the older kids free shopping at Adam and Eve and they loved that and all got movie cards and their sex lives became even better, especially when he demonstrated the proper way to perform a great blow job, everyone loved that class. And he brought in DJ to show how to perform cunnilingus and the girls loved that class.
“You know, babe, I don’t think this is what the parents had in mind when they thought of Sex Ed,” Jake teased when Harry told him about DJ’s class. Harry giggled.
“Well, someone’s got to teach these kids how to do it right, God knows their parents aren’t going to do it,” he said. Jake laughed and rubbed lotion on his babe’s back.
“You didn’t show our kids how to do blow jobs did you?” he asked and Harry giggled. Jake rolled his eyes. “Oh, man, I don’t even want to know,” he muttered and his hands moved down to that spectacular ass. Harry turned around and shoved Jake down on his back and climbed on top of him. Jake grinned.
“Oh, you’re feeling frisky tonight,” he said and reached up to pinch Harry’s nipples. Harry moaned and pinched Jake’s which made him moan. He reached for the lube.
“You know sex class always makes me wild,” he told him, his eyes all slanty and sexy. Jake grinned, he liked Harry all wild. Harry lowered himself and reached up for the straps. Jake groaned and they began to move frantically. Harry put on foot on the edge of the bed slat which gave him better traction and shoved himself down hard which caused Jake to go in deeper and both men gasped with pleasure.
“Oh, babe, I love you,” Jake muttered as Harry scratched the inside of his thigh, his legs straining as he pumped harder and faster. They both yelled as they exploded and Danny rolled over and grinned. Bo whined and he petted him.
“Those two are horny bastards aren’t they, Bo?” he teased him and the dog wagged his tail. They rolled over and went to sleep.
The following year the next batch of sixteen year-olds moved out to Farm Five and all the parents sighed and let them without a fuss, what else could they do? Harry and Jake built the pasta factory and everyone was happy, they didn’t have to make homemade noodles again. And it came with two thousand pounds of flour which made everyone whine that they didn’t have to eat those damned bread mixes because they could have taken the flour from the factories. Harry shrugged.
“Well, I didn’t know there was flour in the factories,” he told them and they all sighed.
“I don’t know why everyone so excited about noodles, now this is just another reason we have to plant more damned wheat,” Max grumbled. Charles agreed but all the women loved making spaghetti and lasagna and loved the factory so they just shrugged.
“What other kinds of factories do you have, Harry?” Jenna asked at the next town meeting. Harry shrugged.
“I’ve got one that makes parts for the cars and one that makes cloth,” he told them and they all made faces. “There’s one that makes blankets and quilts and a furniture factory and a china factory that makes dishes and one that makes pots and pans,” he added.
“All those sound boring, don’t you have anything fun?” Shelley asked. Harry grinned.
“I’ve got a toy factory that makes toys,” he told them and they all rolled their eyes. “There’s a factory that makes view-screens and one that makes CD’s and of course the shoe factory.”
“All those sound like things we’re going to need eventually, but don’t you have anything more interesting or fun or more food or alcohol?” Myra asked. Harry grinned.
“Well, I do have the Hershey Chocolate Factory and the Gallo Wine Factory if you think those two might be a little more fun than the shoe factory,” he teased and they all laughed.
“Oh, my God, a wine factory, why don’t we build that one next,” Edna stood up and gushed. Harry shrugged.
“I don’t see why we can’t build those two next but the wine after the samples is going to be for sale in the Liquor Mart. That’s not getting divided up like the sodas,” he informed them and they all frowned.
“Why not, that’s not fair,” Linda complained. Harry shrugged.
“Because its alcohol, you don’t expect David to give out his booze for free, why should you expect me to give out mine for free?” he asked. Kate stood up and he shook his head. “And no, Mother, those factories don’t belong to the community. I brought them down and they belong to me, no one else thought to bring down a factory. All of you are lucky that I give out the toothpaste, shampoo and other stuff for free and don’t charge you for that. You people really have a lot of nerve, you expect me to give you everything that I have, just like I owe it to you and I don’t owe you anything. You’re the ones who insisted on money. I said let’s share everything, but Max and Charles insisted that was communism and you all said that sounded like a hippie commune and you didn’t want to live on a hippie commune so don’t come whining to me when I don’t give you my crap for free. So put your money where you mouth is and pay up.” Jake and the other kids laughed and the adults all made faces.
“Well, it’s not fair, you brought down so much more than we did,” Linda stated. Harry shrugged.
“Hindsight’s a bitch ain’t it,” he remarked and a lot of people laughed. “I told all of you when we were on the Roosevelt that we were coming down to an uninhabited planet where there was nothing and we needed to bring down as much as we could and that’s what I did. It’s not my fault that all of you only picked out three stores. I told you to pick out as many stores as you wanted, in fact, I said pick out fifty stores or a hundred but you all thought that you couldn’t build that many stores so you only picked out three. Even then you were all lazy bastards and now you’re all paying the price.” David stood up.
“I wanted more bins but you wouldn’t bring them down for me,” he snapped. Everyone laughed.
“Mr. Marshall, how many times do we have to hear that tired old complaint; now the reason you didn’t get anymore bins is because you waited until the damned ship was breaking up before you asked for more bins and I couldn’t carry bins and the passenger carriers at the same time,” Harry told him. David sniffed.
“Why not?” he whined.
“Because you have to lock the carriers into position and when you use the magnetic beam to hook onto the bins it could cause the carrier to unlock and they tend to fall down and you lose your passengers that way. I’m pretty sure the passengers didn’t want to burn up in the atmosphere so you could have more bins,” he said calmly and everyone shuddered.
Since everyone wanted the wine factory more than the chocolate factory they built that first and Harry gave everyone a case of every variety and that made them all happy. Then he stocked the shelves of his Liquor Mart and that made Adam happy as he was considering it his store which amused his fathers.
Next they built the chocolate factory and everyone got a case of each kind of candy and that made all the kids happy and Dr. Dennis said he was going to be cleaning teeth all year long now and everyone laughed. Both of his sons Patrick and Craig announced that they were going to be dentists which made him happy especially since DJ was running the TV station and didn’t show any interest in teeth. Anna Wong was a dental hygienist and she helped him so he was really happy with the candy factory.
“When are you going to tell everyone about the thousand stores, babe?” Jake asked one day while they were picking apples. Harry shrugged.
“I don’t know, I think I’ll just build them a few at a time when we start needing them instead of dividing them and just let people take what they need. By that time this whole money craze would have worn off hopefully and people will realize how foolish it is and we’ll just keep all the stores open for everyone to use,” he said and Jake nodded.
“That would depend on how many of us there are I think. If the kids all grow up and have kids then there would be too many to do that. But if we stay small for a long time then that way will work out just fine,” he said and Harry nodded.
“As long as those idiots on Farm One continue to insist on using money everyone else will,” he said with a big sigh. Jake laughed and kissed him.
“They just keep exchanging the same thousand dollars over and over again and we get most of their money, don’t they realize that, they’re so stupid,” he agreed and they both laughed.
The spring after Emma and Jackson turned fifteen, Harry and Jake took them to the Jeep Dealership and showed them hundreds of Jeeps and other cars and let them pick out the one they wanted. They also took Stevie, Stephanie, May and Martin, all the kids had turned fifteen in December but the weather had been too bad for driving lessons and getting cars so they had to wait until the spring. Now they were all excited.
“If I get the
