No Guarantee

Surely just a little, freak accident, a foolish thing not actually meant, Jack and Jill after a first meeting ended up in a shotgun wedding. Childhood sweethearts Sue and Bart for each other meant from the start, theirs was a match made in heaven that friends long ago had foreseen. Fast forward... Sue and Bart, married for two years, are in court with bitterness and tears, sure that divorce is so much better than living in hell hating the other. Accidental mates, jolly Jack & Jill draw pails of water up on the hill, with little grandkids trailing them in that oft repeated family game. Boy, what a joke this life can truly be, hit it or miss it there is no guarantee; only one thing is predictably sure - an appointment with a head doctor!

Yup - no way to forsee this. Some leave, some stay in loathing for the kids, and the very very few live in love. An execllent and sad tale. love Kristin
