"I don't like her and I don't need to wait til later to figure out why!" Stacy growled.

"No, you got it all wrong. The song goes I hate her, I'll think of a reason later.' It's a funny song." David proceeded to hum the tune completely oblivious to the fact that his wife was seething.

"I'm talking about that woman, Clarice, you were flirting with. The sl-"

"Don't say it!" he cut her off as he jerked his thumb at the backseat which contained three zonked out little girls. They had a very thrilling yet tiring day at the county fair, their heads over full with too much noise, too much excitement and enough junk food in their bellies to last them until next summer. "You want them thinking their mama's a potty mouth? It took me a week to convince them you meant to say Bambi' not bimbo' when talking about my sister....Wait...me flirting?

You should have been there."David had the huge grin across his face that he always got when speaking of the wonders of his delightful daughters.

What's wrong with this guy, Stacy wondered again? She was in a towering rage and gosh-darn-it she wanted to stay that way and his Daddy's little girls smile was not going to dissuade her from it.

"About the flirting?" Stacy interjected in an exasperated tone.

"Didn't I just tell you, I was too busy taking pictures and I don't even remember talking to her."
