It was the beginning of a new year. His wife was screaming like a banshee at their three daughters. He knows what it was all about. What all the tirade that are now being taken out on his daughters was really about.
"They're not helping. Look at all the soil dishes in the sink."
"Just get the girls to clean up."
"Why don't you speak to them about it yesterday evening?"
"You just need to be more firm with them."
"Like you?" asked his wife sarcastically, getting more vented up.
He knows where the argument was leading to. The real issue behind her tiresome innuendo was about to rear its cowardly face.
