Water Damage
by Adele
"OWWW! That hurts!"
He paid no attention and kept on smacking that little paperback book on my poor, bare, wet backside.
I was on my knees on the bathmat, bent over the edge of the tub with my hands in the warm, sudsy water. The book would be unreadable after this, I thought. Yes, it was damaged before, but I knew for a fact it was still readable.
"It's just a book!" I wailed.
"Yes, it is," he snapped without interrupting his rhythm, "But it's MY book. If you have to read in the tub, read your own damn book!"
