BEST FRIEND

I was frying chicken for our lunch.  She was sipping a glass of wine.  “You know that secret lover I’ve been telling you about?----well,----it’s----your husband.” said the beautiful, statuesque, doe-eyed, flaxen-haired and perfect body, Neena, “We’ve been together over a year now----in the afternoons----we’re very much in love----I felt it was time----I had to tell you----I had to make something happen----don’t you see?----I had to.”

A razor sliced me down the middle of my being until all of my organs were hanging on the outside for all to see.  Like hot grease bubbling around the chicken, thoughts flashed through my mind, “I wish she would go away.  Why is she still here?  Please go away.  Where did my life go?  What happened?  What did I do wrong?  What?  What did she say? A year?  Was I really so hated?”

The goddess stood up and demanded, “Why don’t you react----hit me----do something----say something!!” As my hand reached toward the searing grease, I quietly answered, “A leg---or a breast?”
