THE MOVING CHAIR

"Did I fall off the chair last night?"

No, the chair moved.

"The chair moved?"

The floor is slanted and the chair moved just enough so that you missed it and you hit the ground.

"My fall had nothing to do with the Xanax I consumed earlier in the day, the three bottles of wine at dinner, the six pack at the house, the coke and the hydro we added for good measure?"

You were showing the effects of a long night, but I can assure you the chair moved.

"Are you sure? You're not lying?"

A son would never lie to his father.

"Good. I was worried I was losing it. Let's go eat breakfast."

What do you want?

"I need some greasy Mexican food to embark on the road to recovery. You will have to drive. I can't see."

Vamonos!!!
