Conversation at the front door with ex-husband who rarely gives me the time of day.
F: Hello lovey. Your hair looks really fantastic today. (BEST POSH LONDON ACCENT) Could you do me a huge favor?
T: YEAH I guess. What is it? (EYES NARROWING)
F: Can you make me a website and a nice flyer next week? (SWEET SMILE)
T: YEAH I guess. Why? (BRACING MYSELF)
F: Well... that crazy bitch just laid me off. (HEADING TIPPING PATHETICALLY TO THE SIDE LIKE A KICKED PUPPY)
T: Oh my gawd. Sorry. (SHIT. FUCK. LOST YOUR JOB AGAIN? WHAT DID YOU DO THIS TIME?)
F: Thanks lovey. I'll call ya next week. I will need it right away!! (YEAH AND I WILL NEED HENRY'S TUITION CHECK RIGHT AWAY TOO)
(QUICK EMAIL TO HIS FORMER BEST FRIEND IN L.A>)
T: Hey...guess what?
LA: Ahh, Frank lost his job again?
T: Yeah, how did you know?
LA: You haven't noticed the pattern YET?
T: Yeah, I guess I sort of knew something was about to happen. He HAS been a little nicer lately.
LA: Whadya know... a change in demeanor leading to bad news and a request for help. So very him.
Wonder what he did this time?
Punch someone?
Steal something?
Tell a fantastic lie about having to rush off to England for a fake emergency?
T: Yeah. Oh man. I feel stupid.
LA: Don't you know by now, to watch out for his big soften up?
You shoulda known when he offered YOU such a "great deal" on the FREE sofa he got, that bad news was just around the corner. Better brace yourself for the inevitable.. "Sorry love I can't afford my half of the tuition or child support for a while" (AGAIN!?)
T: Right. (CRAP, SHIT, FUCK.)
LA: There could be a bright side... if he can't find a job, maybe he will move back to England or Texas or L.A.
T: SMILE BRIGHTENING SLIGHTLY. Well I guess we can hope...
(SHIT CRAP FUCK)

I say, pull for extradition to Texas. They don't exactly have a reputation for being nice to folks who break the law.
