Wolfe’s Woofer: The Boss of the House

Share

Dennis-Wolfe-Wolfes-Woofers“Hey, Mr. Dennis. Could you do me one favor?”
“Sure, Mario,” I said. “What do you need?”
“My wife is having one of those parties for her friends today. I always seem to do something that makes her mad when she has these parties. I want you to come visit me. We’ll sit on the porch and talk and maybe I don’t do nothing to vex her.”
“I don’t know, Mario. Your wife has a mighty sharp tongue,” I said. “I don’t want her angry at me.”

At the party Mario and I were sitting on the porch when his wife called him.

I sneaked around the house, went through the back door and made my way to the closet.
“Come in, Mr. Dennis,” he whispered. “There’s plenty room.”
“I wish I could order my husband around like that,” I heard one of the women say. “I would end up with a black and blue eye.”
“I can do anything with Mario I want,” his wife said. “Watch this. Mario! Get out of that closet.”
Mario didn’t say anything and he shushed me with a finger over his lips.
His wife called again,
“Mario! I order you to get out of that closet right now.”
“I won’t do it,” Mario yelled back at her. “I’ll show you I’m boss in this house!”
