Today’s Drabble challenge is to write a 100 word story based on the theme, “the dry cleaners closed early.” So, here goes…

“Now what?” I exclaimed.

I dialed my wife’s cellphone number.

“The dry cleaners closed early. I told you we didn’t have time to make a baby. Now I’m the one who’s screwed.”

“You didn’t have to take so long. Besides, if it works, you’ll be a father. That’s what we want.”

“Yes, but I’m a Senator. I can’t climb up on stage dressed like a hillbilly in a baseball cap and AC/DC T-shirt.”

“No one will care. It’s just a bunch of MAGA conspiracy theorists. You’ll fit right in.”

“Maybe if I wear a tie no one will notice.”
