“I can’t articulate how pissed I am at you!” Neil shouted. “My collection of antique typesetting pieces is ruined and it’s your fault. You were going to take care of the leaky roof, but you didn’t and now everything is drenched.”
Alan felt penitent. “I have some contacts that I can reach out to who might be able to salvage things.”
“You are the worst,” Neil said. “You’re irresponsible and I can’t count on you for anything.”
“If that’s how you feel,” Alan said. “I’ll pack my things and move out.”
“Don’t worry about it, Alan. It’s just stuff.”

Laughed, as my hubby is Neil. It’s only stuff. How many times have we all said that, and not meant it?

Good message.
So many times we obsess over things, forgetting that it’s just stuff.

I’m glad I don’t have to rate everything 😉 I don’t know about believability, but for pure entertainment your tales would always rate highly. 🙂
