Censored

Fiorella proudly handed Daughter a copy of New Love Stories Magazine, in which her short story, "For the Love of Layla" appears. Daughter read the story about halfway through, then put the magazine down when the two lovers began pawing at each other, explaining that she just couldn't read that sort of thing in something her mother wrote.

Interesting. She would have been able to read the story if anyone else had written it, which means she still can't separate Fiorella the writer from Fiorella the mother.

It probably comes from when the kids were little and Fiorella would turn off salacious material on TV, saying "This is not appropriate."

Remember, we are all naked under our skins. Fiorella tries to be a good mother, but she's really just another human being.
