46. Insisting on Being a Good Influence
“And you!” Margaret said, pointing her cane at Felix, “You are
never invited to my house again!” Felix laughed and I asked what happened.
“Thirty years in the Navy and my husband didn’t get a single
tattoo,” Margaret said. “Felix convinced him we should get matching ones for
our wedding anniversary. I’m gonna filet that kid.”
“Do you want me to call the deputy back, see if we can borrow
his Taser?” Howard joked.
“No, he’s been a good influence,” Margaret said, smiling and
poking Felix with her cane. “Felix has gotten
my husband to lighten up a little, not worry about me so much. I think my husband respects the way Felix insists
on helping him see the bright side. He
just doesn’t give up.”
Today I
will insist on being a good influence.
