It's hours later, of course.
If you're wondering what happened earlier tonight when my wife asked me to get the colander...
The vinyl-backed metal chair tipped back and slammed to the floor.
They looked shocked.
Because I don't do that sort of thing.
Except when I'm pushed to the edge.
And what do they expect?
Could anyone write a novel in the midst of that cacophony?
Or even a measly short story?
I got the colander, because who else is going to do it?
They're all too short.
I slapped the colander on the counter.
It wasn't that loud.
I grabbed up my laptop, notebook, and pen and marched out of the kitchen, though I dropped the pen and then almost dropped the laptop when I was picking up the pen.
And I swear, Mario and the kids were standing stock still and gaping after me like I just tore the kitchen apart.
