Pick Your Battles

Semi-Colin texted me he’d love to take the ferret, but maybe not the thug cat. I texted they were a package deal. He texted he’d talk to his wife.

The next day I told my colleagues about finding MA and Cuddles a home. They weren’t thrilled.

They thought we should fight to the death to keep them. Abigail pointed out I was supposed to be mounting a media campaign to stir up public support.

“Sometimes you pick your battles,” I said. “I can’t guarantee they won’t be dragged off to an animal shelter, so I’d rather place them in a good home.”

 “Maybe you’re right about picking your battles,” Katy said. “I can’t make my mother go to the retirement home so I visit her every other day.”

 “I’d like to have my daughter’s dimwit boyfriend fixed,” Dana said. She made a snipping motion with her fingers in the air. We waited, but she didn’t say what she could do instead.

 

Today I will pick my battles.

 

Fawlty Showers is a work of fiction. Any similarity between the characters and anyone you might know is purely coincidental.
