The Damned Discussion


Brea and Mary did not like each other, and some say it stemmed from the ex-account. Ben Salem who majored in brotherly love invited them to his office to discuss this sister acting out scenario.

“Don’t call me Mary,” one lady stated sitting in the young professional go getter setting.

“Your just being crazy Brea,” the other one followed up.

Ben sat there very nice and calm as the two elderly ladies placed hands on the pocketbooks that sat on their lap.

“So, ladies what started this tiff,” Ben gave them a peaceful grin.

“Well, long before you were born,” Brea started out, “we ladies had an allowance each week and back when Valley Forge was Valley Forge I brought home this winning Cinna bunny back to my quarters, he was young and in his blue uniform.”

What these mature ladies were claiming seemed very interesting and Ben continued to listen to the conversation,

“He had a little neck,” Mary made sure she was heard,

“That is what made him a winner was his young pretty little neck.”

Putting his two fingers on his mouth Ben started to put things together,

“He now works down south at the Point Lockout State Park, Brea defended her love.

“That place is like that Finn MW Casperson on the other side of the Delaware River,”

“He is a valiant spirit,” Brea told Ben honestly, “he is there as a guiding light in discussing the definition of a civil war.”

“But he was in a revolution not a civil war,” Mary tried to clarify.

“It was a revolutionary war with his Mother which makes it a civil war and he hung out with the two of us,” Brea pleaded, “so he knows the definition of a civil war.”

Relaxing back in his executive chair Ben unleashed his finger from his mouth, “you two are here from the historical society, right? “

Innocently shaking their heads and showing teeth the two said in unison, “No, we are here to talk about the ex-account.”
