He was so mad he couldn’t wait to teach both of them a lesson or twenty.
Furiously he swerved round the bend and simultaneously picked up his phone and took a second look at the incriminating picture.
In split seconds, he failed to see the puppy, the boy, and the mother…
Slammed brakes, screeching tires, a dogs yelp, the mixed cries of boy and mother as they watch their beloved Sandy struggle…
…The angry haze lifted from Tony’s eyes.

Gulp! He should have been a little less angry and a lot more careful. It’s strange, but even though I know it’s fiction, I can’t help wondering about the child, the mother and the dog and hoping they’re all okay.

I remember being so angry at work once — sexist boss who lit into me for 45 minutes for not laughing at his vulgar joke — I knew I couldn’t be on the road. I was able to keep it together enough to go three blocks to a Gap store, where I shopped for jeans until I calmed down enough to drive. (And yes, I was nice to the sales people.) It’s scary to think what I could have done if I hadn’t had enough sense to stay away from my car at that time.

Thank God you had the goodness which some people lack and I honestly don’t get it with these sexist men who think cracking vulgar jokes is to everyone’s taste.

Oh and this joke was so bad. All I did was leave the room. I quit the following day and he was fired. The company was afraid of a lawsuit.
