The Lottery Jackpot
“You know what I’d do if we ever win the Lottery Jackpot,” she says while she crumples this week’s ticket.
I’ve heard this before. She’ll start summing up wild and expensive dreams, each time leaving out some she no longer desires, but adding a few new extravaganzas.
“...south of France. An electric car, we’ve talked about this. It’s the latest fashion – we should definitely own one. Quit our jobs, obviously. And you won’t have to mow the lawn of that young widow twice a week any more.”
I sure as hell hope we never win that freaking Lottery Jackpot.
