“Are you sure this is gonna work?”

“It has to, Babe,” Wilbur reassured. “Or do I have to remind you what happened to our brother?”

After huffing and puffing, the big, bad wolf successfully destroyed two of the pig’s houses; one made of straw, the other of sticks. When he ca...

“Where did it come from?” I say contemptuously, pursing my lips as I glance at the battered old mirror. I’ve never liked antiques, and I don’t want it.

“Your stepmother sent it as a wedding gift,” my husband sighs, rubbing his temples. “I know, honey, just ignore it, I suppose. She said she didn’t want it anyway.”
