It's a Man's World--A Rebuttal/Wee Challenge 22
"Yeah, honey, I've got to take another call. I'll be home by nine."
"Alright. I'll just put your meatloaf in the fridge, then. Say goodnight to Junior." She tried putting the receiver to the screaming toddler's ear.
He returned to his barstool, nodded at the sexy bartender. "A round on me, sweetheart."
"She mad?"
"Nah. She thinks I'm workin' OT."

| A lot of truth in this piece, and I could definitely see this stretched out into the five-hundred word range quite easily. |

| I enjoyed this little piece. It felt so real to me. I wanted to know more, but seriously as short as it is, it's enough. It's a slice-of-life moment that says a lot. Thanks :) |

| I like this and can identify. In my case i was the one home with the screaming toddler. I think it's even more effective that the toddler is named Junior. Nice touch. |

| I can relate to the screaming toddler bit. I wonder what his wife will say when he crawls into bed reeking of booze and stale ciggies. Something tells me that she's heard this line of BS before. Great read, Dante. |
