The whole thing started when Joe
decided to do his taxes. He got himself a mug of coffee and poured in
a little Irish whiskey left from St Patrick’s Day. Stirring in sugar,
he took a sip and decided it was just the thing for an afternoon of
crunching the numbers. He whipped up cream and spooned it on top.
Carrying it into his study, he sat in front of the computer and
opened his tax software. Three hours later, he was finished. He had a
heart attack when he saw the bottom line. His wife blamed the whipped
cream.
Monica lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and two foster dogs. She taught parents how to raise their toddlers for twenty-five years before retiring in 2015 to write. The secret to toddlers is to make sure you get enough sleep. Monica hasn't found the secret to writing, yet, but is diligently working at it. See her on-line stories in the profile links.
