once she had WON there was
NO NEED
to pretend anymore
SOME of it
was just QUIRKY
like following the phone cord out from the wall
to find the ringing phone
OR
having to wear shoes inside the house
because there was
SEVIN dust
covering the floor to kill the fleas
which HAD been a problem
they had suddenly become SO BAD that
there were MORE on my legs
than I could BRUSH off
& THEN they
we're on my ARMS
OR
the shrink wrap machine
it was hard for me
to make her happy with my quality control
HOW
OFTEN
are you wiping this heating element
you've GOT to be
WIPING it
EVERY
two or three TIMES
OR
LOOK
you get this slightly
BURNT edge
SEE
you have to do
THESE
AGAIN
