71. Not Making the Cut
Anne poked her head in my door,
looked at me, looked Howard, and said, “Men. You all suck.”
“I’m not disagreeing,”
Howard said, “but what makes you say that?”
“I looked up my baby’s daddy on Facebook. He’s married.
Has adorable twin boys and a beautiful wife. He never mentioned them while he bought me
drinks that night.”
“What are you going to do?” I asked.
“I thought about getting drunk. Then I thought about murder, maybe castration
and murder, maybe murder by castration.”
“Let’s set that aside for now,” I said. “You’ve heard the
expression ‘first things first’?”
Anne nodded, and said, “I’m going to put my daughter first,
and since we’re a team, put me first as well.
I’ll stay sober, I won’t smoke, but if it’s in her best interests, I
will confront him.”
“You can always cut him later,” Howard said with a
smile.
Today I will put first things first.
