Wednesday story time again. Last week we left poor Ben with Mrs. Wolfe who was doing her best Mrs. Robinson imitation and demanding that Ben come join her on the couch. If we can stand it we should go back to see how Ben fairs in this exchange.
“Here’s you drink Trudy.”
“Thank you. Ben. By the way, it is Mrs. Wolfe to you.”
“But you just said─”
“I know what I said, Ben. How foolish do you think I am? Did you think you were going to get somewhere with me?”
“I was just doing what you told me to do.”
“Pretty weak Ben. Do you have no loyalty to Alexis?”
“Yes of course. You have me so confused right now.”
“Well little man finish your drink and you might get a little clarity about what is going on.”
“So something’s going on?”
“Damn, you’re dumb. I have been testing you Ben and quite frankly I don’t think you have the right stuff to participate in our little fundraising project.”
“Yes, I do. Give me another chance.”
“Beg Ben”
“Screw you Trudy.”
“That’s Mrs. Wolfe.”
“Okay then. screw you Mrs. Wolfe. Here take this stinking drink. I hate gin. I’m going back to rejoin Alexis and your husband.”
“You go boy.”
“Bite me Mrs. Wolfe.”

Maybe, but I don’t trust your characters John. Previous results don’t seem to indicate what we can expect in the future. I’ll take this one hump-day at a time, thank you.

Good point. I’ll get the gasoline and matches to make sure the witch is taken of.

Would have been a nice twist. Maybe next story.

Wait…now she’s testing him?? Gee, I’m confused, but I’m sure it will become clear next Wednesday, right?? At least Ben found the courage to tell Trudy what he really thought!
