You're probably both kidding yourselves
I bet she's telling herself that it was just an especially labyrinthine spider's web while not believing a word of it, just as you probably don't believe it either. It's like mutual telling of white lies to keep things from getting awkward, and mums tend to be pretty good at that.

Pfft.
Mums were sex-addled teenagers once too, and know exactly what's going on - and probably giggle about it with their friends.

Now that all my Uni mates are parents with kids up to twelve or so, they're actively looking forward to embarrassing the crap out of their offspring by almost-but-not-quite catching them wanking. Including carefully planning that daughters get surprised by mums, while sons are fair game for anyone. One lass is *specifically* aiming to do the old "cup of tea" trick to her boy, being a good b3ta girl.

Of course, this might say more about my friends than anything else...

My mother claims
to have had sex with only one guy before she married my father and I doubt even this. She shared a flat with one of the Profumo-affair hookers and assumed until it all blew up that she 'just had a lot of friends.' She also stormed out of a party in disgust when it turned into an orgy and had to walk all the way back home from Chiswick to central London whilst her 'date' was giving some gal a different sort of ride. The sixties was totally wasted on her.
I just hope she didn't drag my father upstairs to marvel at the mysterious 'webbing'.

There's always an exception!
Bless her, maybe you did get away with it after all.
