March Madness
“I'll be damned,” he said. “I never knew where that was.”
“Oh My God,” she said.
“Now that I know where that is, why don't we get married?”
“Oh, My God.”
“We could buy a little house. Maybe have a kid. Get a dog. You know.”
“My God.”
“It'd be nice.”
“God.”
“Man!” He raised his active hand to scratch his cheek and her back flattened out. “Does this shit always go on for such a long time for you?”
“Blvvft. I. Whew. Gimme a minute here…my god. Gimme a minute.”
“Sure. I gotta go out and wax the car. Relax. See you in a few. We can take a shower. There's a game on at two.”

“Now that I know where that is, why don't we get married?”
Classic.
Brings to mind the lou reed line: "In fact, that's why they got married."
Only too real. Nice one, Larry!
Thanks Matt and Susan. I think I have too much time on my hands.
Larry, A Strattner special for sure! "There's a game on at two...."
This one had me rolling on the floor. Hilarious!
Thanks Jack. I've got one coming up in Full of Crow's April Quarterly Fiction you might like. I think you'd like FOC's style in general.
PS I love Lou Reed. The Rock and Roll Animal.
Great use of dialogue and form, Larry. I like this piece.
Larry Strattner always keeps it real. Another nice one, Larry. Funny as hell.
Yeah, man!
Thanks gentle readers.
