I am not a country-clubbing kind of woman. In fact, I’d rather get a root canal than mingle with the kind of women that socialize at country clubs. I don’t fit in with them. I am what you might call unconventional when it comes to the mainstream ideas of beauty and fashion. But when my best friend – and cousin’s wife – Marilyn invites me to her pool party with her country club friends, I kind of have to accept.

First, my children and I have been staying with her and my cousin for the past month while my husband has been away. So we’re already at her house. It would be kind of awkward not to show up in her backyard. Besides, the kids love to swim.

Second, my husband is coming home today, and I have nothing else to do while I’m waiting for him.

As I predicted, one of Marilyn’s country club buddies immediately begins to find fault with me. Then another comes to join her in her subtle insults. At least the third who shows up is actually nice, and begins to stick up for me.

But, whatever. Let the snooty, perfectly manicured, new-hairstyle-every-week women look down on me. Because my husband will be here soon, and when he shows up, I will get sweet revenge…and they will get the shock of their lives.
*******************
This short-short story is 4,764 words. If you love stories with surprise endings, you’ll enjoy this one. If you’re a woman who has felt the sting of not living up to societal standards, of constantly feeling the need to compete with supermodels in order to be accepted, you’ll love this story with its eyebrow-raising ending that will give you lots of warm fuzzies and lots to think about.

Download it now, and get your laugh for the day.
