On Small Victories

(apartment, Chester is on a short stepstool hanging a painting while Vivica looks on.)

Vivica:  Don’t hurt yourself up there, do you need a hand?

Chester:  (grunting) No, I’m good.  Hey, while it’s on my mind, I ran into Dave and the guys today and we’re all gonna go to Atlantic City next weekend.  I just wanted to run it by you so you’d know.

Vivica:  Well, I’m sorry honey but you can’t leave next weekend.   We’re having the Hammans over for dinner on Saturday night.

Chester:  Oh, ok.  Yeah, right.  I remember that now.  Well, I guess at least that’ll mean that I’ll be able to play golf with Chris that Sunday.

Vivica:  No honey, remember?  You promised you’d get started on the rock garden Sunday afternoon.

Chester:  Huh.  Yeah, I guess I did.

Vivica:  Sorry honey.

Chester:  Hey, that’s fine.  No biggie.  How does the painting look here?

Vivica:  Move it to the left a little bit.

Chester:  My left or your left?

Vivica:  What?  Well, either.  We’re facing the same direction.

Chester:  Yeah, but which is it?  My left or your left?

Vivica:  Um, your left.

Chester:  Yeah, I thought so.  My left.

Did you like this Thought? Sure did. No, I did not.
