Michelle walked in the front door and went straight into the den where James was lying on the sofa watching a basketball game. She threw her purse on the sofa next to him, then walked and stood in front of the television with her back to him. She placed her hands on the television and bent over. “Kick me, James.”

He sat up and looked at her. “What?”

“I need my butt kicked for bringing them here. What was I thinking?”

“Why are you so angry?”

“If they did to you what they did to me today, you’d be angry too. Now come on and kick me, because I deserve it.”

James went to Michelle, turned her around, and pulled her into his arms. “It can’t be that bad.”

Amaryllis and Bridgette walked in the front door and saw James holding Michelle.

Michelle looked in their direction and watched them both go upstairs without saying a word.

“Look at them, James. Lucy and Ethel. They ain’t sayin’ a word. That’s how you know they’re guilty.”

James sat Michelle down on the sofa, took her shoes off, and gently massaged her feet. “What did they do?”

By the time Michelle finished telling him how her sister and her friend clowned earlier that day, he was on the floor holding his stomach, laughing with tears in his eyes. “That’s too funny, Mickey. Now, I wished that I had gone with you.”

“James, don’t laugh because you’ll only encourage them.”

“Mickey, they were just having fun.”

“Yeah, at my expense. I’m the one who was embarrassed.”

“Don’t take it personally. Look at it this way: the conference is tonight, and they’re leaving in the morning.”

Michelle raised her hands toward heaven. “Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus.”
