What Christie Woke Up to Sunday Morning..

[TheBlackAdder]

15. I'll retell something I had witnessed at my sister's house.

My two sisters, their husbands and I were sitting around the kitchen table one Sunday afternoon.

My sister's friend stops by, who is the wife of a famous professional baseball pitcher in our area.

My sister makes a comment about her face and my brother-in-law from the other sister (who is a lawyer) makes a flippant comment about whether her husband was beating her. I didn't really notice anything wrong with her at first. She gets upset and within minutes has to leave.

Two days later, my sister tells me that she'd left her husband and filed for divorce due to repeated incidents of domestic battery.

I had never met this woman before, but the others had. I didn't notice anything out of the norm just by doing a casual glance. Only after my brother-in-law said something, did I stare at her to see if I could see what they were talking about.

There seems to be a lot of anger in Christie. Hopefully, his wife and kids won't go underground for a week or so and will stay visible.
