A Tale of Two Mommies by Vanita Oelschlager

Written By Paul Bouchey

    • Plot Summary: A Tale of Two Mommies is a beach conversation among three children. One boy asks another boy about having two mommies. A young girl listening in asks some questions too. True to a child’s curiosity, practical questions follow. “Which mom is there when you want to go fishing? / Which mom helps out when Kitty goes missing?” To which he answers: “Mommy helps when I want to go fishing. / Both Mommies help when Kitty goes missing.”

    • This is Vanita Oelschlager’s lesbian version of A Tale of Two Daddies and follows the same format. I have the same problem with it that I have with A Tale of Two Daddies; the prolonged questions made me slightly uncomfortable because of the implication that one of the moms has to take on a dad role.
