My son h!t me 30 times in front of his wife… so the next morning, while he sat in his office, I sold the house he thought was his.

I leaned back calmly.

“The new owner’s representatives,” I said.
“You shouldn’t keep them waiting.”

Silence.

Then panic.

“You can’t do this! That’s my house!”

I almost smiled.

“My house,” I repeated. “Interesting.”

Then I told him the truth.

“I had every right to sell it—the same right I had when I paid for it. The same right I had yesterday… when you hit me thirty times in a house that was never yours.”

He went quiet.

“You wouldn’t,” he said.

“I already did.”

And I hung up.
