Stencil, Staple, Upset


“Mom, you’re clearly upset. So what’s up?”

“Nothing!”

Disbelief dripped from her daughter’s response. “Nothing. Really.”

“It’s… you know the stencil I’ve been working on for the past two days?”

“No…”

“Yes you do! The Disney castle in acrylic! Lines so fine you can almost see Mickey and Minnie Mouse at the ramparts.”

“Uh…”

“Someone, and I’m not saying who, used it as an underlay when using a stapler.”

“Ohhh…”

“Holes everywhere. But it’s ok, you know, because it wasn’t all that important.”

“Shit.”

“So maybe I’ll just, I don’t know, have a broken castle!”

“Mom?”

“What?”

“It was Dad.”
