Flush

August 2nd, 2006 Comments Off on Flush

You’re sitting at the table, eating dinner when you hear the clatter of a toilet lid. Nothing too unusual. There’s silence for a few moments, just enough for you to pause mid-bite and think, “Hey, is that right?” Something nags at the back of your mind. Before you can give shape to the thought, you hear the toilet being flushed. Then it slowly dawns on you: “Wait, a minute. Everyone who is toilet trained is actually sitting at this table!” Look at husband who is having the same thought as he rushes to the bathroom to see your son innocently looking up and saying, “I need to wash my hands.” So what went down the toilet? Only the Shadow knows.

  • Who I Am

    I read, I write, I occasionally look to make sure my kids aren't playing with matches.

    My novel, MODERN GIRLS will be coming out from NAL in the spring of 2016.

    I mostly update the writing blog these days, so find me over there.

    More about me and my writing.
