&quot;Ladies, ladies,&quot; I tried, &quot;Can't we be reasonable?&quot; Becky snarled, &quot;I'll show you reasonable!&quot; A vase came whipping past my head and shattered against the wall. I gave her my best disarming smile, &quot;I know how bad this seems, but didn't I make all of you happy?&quot; &quot;He, um, sort of has a point, ya know,&quot; Jill mumbled around the fingernails she was nervously nibbling. Cara gave her an odd look, but just had to ask, &quot;How did you get your hair like that? It's really cute.&quot; &quot;See, this is just what I meant earlier,&quot; I jumped in at this brief moment of positive interaction, &quot;You're all so different, which is exactly what I love about each of you. I mean, I love all you, separately and differently, but I love all of you. How can that much love be wrong?&quot; The three of them, the three women in my life, together for the first time, eyed me for a moment. With a jerk of her thumb, Becky pulled the other two into a huddle. And there in the living room, they convened to decide my fate. 2008-03-20T11:24:07Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/24904 <p>I love it!!!</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/24904?basename=50166 2008-03-20T11:24:07Z Qwerty123 http://ficlets.com/authors/ally <p>That was fantastic!</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/24904?basename=49665 2008-03-18T20:54:20Z flute faerie http://ficlets.com/authors/user_6061 <p>Awesome ficlet!</p> <p>LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/24904?basename=49664 2008-03-18T20:50:40Z OrangeOreos http://ficlets.com/authors/orangeoreos <p>Perfect!
