Weekly Contest #357
Sam went to work and labored even harder now that he had a family to support. Many nights, he came home to two screaming infants; at other times, everyone was asleep. When he had the energy and the weather was mild, he and Natalie took the twins in a double stroller to the park, showed the babies the pond where the ducks swam, threw bread crumbs in, laughed, and went "wee." The park was large, with a duck pond, tennis courts, basketball nets, a playground, and walking paths. A Good Humor truck came by daily, and the little kids lined up with...

She took the twins for their six month check-up; just shy of 15 pounds, they were a bit small but healthy. Teddy needed new shoes and he chose brown ones. She even got a h...
First he said he was divorced, then he said he had a Phd., then he said he'd buy me a plane ticket when I went to see my brother on his 40th birthday....and so it goes, until I didn't know who he was and what to believe. That was the beginning and then 29 years later, I am here and who knows what is true and what isn't. However, enough is true to know I live well, get plenty of exercise, fresh food is in the cupboard, and my hair gets done every month, color, cut, and blow dry. I have to tell you, there are so many worse things than lying, b...
