In REALITY, Red said, My mom had surgery. I’m going home for a few weeks to take care of her." Whereupon HE said, “You CAN’T go. Who will take care of ME??” Which is just what you’d expect from someone who’s email is “dansabigdeal@…”.
Bear in mind that he is only telling you HIS point of view. Which neglects to mention that Red drove an hour each way to work, to teach in the ghetto, to support him, and he could not be bothered to lift a finger to cook, clean or wash a scrap of clothing. And don’t forget teaching involves hours of labor BEYOND the 8 hours in the classroom.
You idiots. This is a STORY. Beardo WROTE IT, to make himself look good, and her look bad. What else would expect from someone who’s screen name is “Dan’s a BIG DEAL”?
You need to open up your “world”. You have a roommate. Tell us his name. What does he do? How do you share the bathroom? The kitchen? The living room? How does he get along with a couple in the next room. Does HE bang the headboard? How would HE handle a baby in the house? How about your family? Your wife’s family? There’s more to the story than just you contemplating your navel, waiting for inspiration to strike, or your hair follicles having a conversation. Make this interesting.
