Jen saw her dad in the recliner. She didn’t expect to find anyone watching TV, but was glad for some company. Before she entered the room she looked down to make sure her nipples weren’t visible. She spent most nights in panties and an over-sized t-shirt. Just panties if she was in bed. Even so, puberty made her more conscious of her endowment. Fortunately the fabric was thick enough to hide things. The shirt also reached her knees. She was modest enough and decided to join him without changing first. He was watching football.
“Hi Dad, who’s playing?” Jen asked as she sat on the couch nearby.
“It’s a rerun of the Packers and Cowboys from earlier this week.” He replied.
“Do you already know who wins?” Jen asked.
“Nope, I missed it. I had to work late that day.” He continued.
Jen sat quietly for a while, then decided to ask him about her gender when a commercial came on. Her dad always had wisdom to share, granted it was usually laced with corny humor. She hoped it wouldn’t be too weird and tapped his shoulder. The subject made her uncomfortable but she needed to know.
“Dad, I’m a little embarrassed to ask, but... Do you consider me a girl? ... I mean ... with my tongue the way it is?”
Without skipping a beat he answered, "Embarrassed? Why would you be embarrassed?"
"Of course I consider you a girl."
“Well, technically you’re both. In fact, you and I are twice a man as most if I’m honest about it...”
Jen's cheeks flushed red as he continued.
“Even so, you've always identified with your feminine side and I'm happy to call you my beautiful daughter.”
Jen was still confused and embarrassed, but also flattered.
“At least as long as you prefer it.”
“Prefer it?” Jen asked.
“Yea... You're equipped to go both ways. Albeit arranged differently."
"If you ever decided to identify as a man, I’d respect that.”
“Speaking of your manly side... How’s your girlfriend doing?” He joked.
He was acting like his usual self, but talking about things Jen had only begun to live with. It was very strange, but somehow comfortable. His playful manner made the conversation feel familiar.
“Suzy’s doing great, we spent the afternoon together.” Jen replied.
They continued to chat. The most surreal topic was about the day she was born. Apparently the doctors asked if they wanted the dicks removed. Her parents declined. According to her dad, they decided to let nature run it's course. Jen appreciated the choice but knew full well that nature didn't have anything to do with her tongue. She spoke about school and he shared stories from work. The whole conversation could have lasted, but was cut short by the end of the commercial.
He turned back to the TV. “OH!... SSHHH, it’s back on...”
Just like that, their strange conversation ended. Jen stayed to watch the game. She shared his excited reaction whenever someone scored but otherwise kept quiet...
