Spoilers: Up to the Maternal Congruence
Summary: Because of Penny's father, Penny finds herself hiding in the laundry room while Sheldon constructs a dating formula and Leonard performs human experiments.
Author's Note: In this fic, Bernadette and Howard are broken up. I originally had a subplot that revolved around their break-up and make-up. However, I couldn't really work it in without disrupting the flow. I MAY write it as a companion piece but as of now, consider this fic AU in that respect.
(This fic was beta'd by the charming talkingmetaphor without whom I would still have the shoddy grammar that comes from writing while an insomniac)

Indeed, the results of my foray into the world of deceit are pleasing. I have revealed most of my secret to Penny but successfully managed to keep a vital detail from view. The only obstacle I have encountered was with Leonard. He’d placed me in a situation which forced me to lie completely against the truth. My execution was flawless but I still experienced some facial tics. Had my face not been away from your son’s, this would have been my, to use Poker vernacular, tell. I have done research and discovered this is a psychosomatic problem yet I am experiencing difficulty getting past it. Any theories you might have are welcome.
