Accidental Outing

[Kristi1948]

First off I want apologize for the length of this thread, but I don't know how to shorten it up.

It started this past June, I bought a new car and went to Dallas to visit family and break in my new wheels. While sitting on my moms deck with my Mother, Brother, SIL, and oldest Niece (brother has 3 girls 13/15/17), the subject of my Nephews July wedding came up and the fact that my nephews fiancee wanted the 3 girls as part of the wedding party and proceeded to start a description of the dresses she wanted for the girls. They were trying to explain all the details of these dresses and started to describe the back of the dress with laces from just above the waist to about the shoulder blade I said "oh corset style". Instantly 8 pairs of eyes were riveted on me and everyone fell silent. I know they were wondering how I would know so much about dress styles. Anyway after what seemed like forever the conversation picked up again where it left off and everything was fine.

Now with that part being explained comes the strange part and my questions.

My mother and I talk every weekend. About a month after the dress incident while talking to mom she started telling me about her "Living Will". She was telling me that everything given to her by us kids would go back to the one that gave it to her (nothing strange yet). Then she got to more personal items and mentioned her earrings. She said "I'm guessing you would not wear my earrings" to which I replied "I haven't had my ears pierced yet" and let that one lie. Then last weekend while talking to her she said "you know there is nothing about any of you kids or anything you do that would change my love for you.

Now to my brother. He and I talk about every 4 to 6 weeks and every time we talk now he will say something alluding to the feminine. He called me today as he knows I am coming down to spend the holidays with them and wanted to know if I was driving down today or tomorrow. Anyway at the end of this conversation he says "Well Bro I have to go to the little girls room and powder my nose" and started laughing.

I don't feel the need to "come out" and would never dress in front of him or his family. His girls are at a very impressionable age and think the world of their uncle (me). I never want to cause any un-due stress on any of them.

There are so many of you here that have much to offer and have probably been in a similar situation. Should I let "sleeping dogs lie" and see where this is going or should I be the one to get it out in the open????????? I don't want to cause any rift as we only get together 2 to 3 times a year and really enjoy the family time.

If you have made it this far, again I apologize for the length and would like your opinions as I am going to see them tomorrow. Thanks in advance...Kris
