Since my husband vanished and apparently left his ID to his friends, I guess I should just tell everyone that my life flipped a d_ck. I could say it made a u-turn, but it sounds too much like the slogan on the sign of a local church. It was down the street from the church we used to attend together. Maybe their “God allows u-turns” sign was just their congregation’s way of telling me to flip a d_ck before it was too late.
When you go through the divorce process sometimes you flip a house, sometimes you flip a car, …and sometimes, well, you know…
Why are you flipping ducks?
Well, apparently the word never meant anything bad when it was originally put to that phrase, but now I have to edit it out because it means something else these days.
Trust me, I would have rather been in the business of flipping ducks, as some kind of duck farmer, than feeling like Book of Job and losing everything after my husband flipped his life and everything he owned to his friends.
