Story One: "Obsessive Compulsive Dis-Order" She shuts the door, spins and “click” locks the deadbolt. She plops down in her Prius and cranks the engine. She carefully backs down the driveway. Did she lock the door? She pulls back in to check. Locked. She backs out again. Did she lock the door? This goes on for a while. *** Story Two: “Tea Party” Wearing his tuxedo (pinky extended), he poured tea. Then, using tiny silver tongs, dropped two sugar cubes into each cup. “Chantilly needs three cubes,” the girl demanded. He complied. “Anything else, Madam?” “Chantilly needs two cookies. Then, off with your head!” Chantilly’s button eyes taunted and accused. He was dismissed, “Carry on, Daddy.” By Lisa H.
