My mother sabbatical of not speaking to Willis was temporarily put on hold. My father brought her a new refrigerator for their 49th anniversary and for two weeks she was speaking to him again. Hoping against all hope that Willis might have learned his lesson and continues to buy her things, I was sadden to hear that she stop talking to him again. But then after 49 years and he still doesn't get it then he deserves every bit of Peggy's fury. But for two weeks Willis was being spoken to and Peggy bragged about a fridge. After years of praying for their divorce and hoping Willis would not come home from work, I cannot help but think that if all it took was some big appliance to get them to get along then why the hell was our childhoods so bad? But then those couple of weeks passes and the refrigerator appeal ends and Willis decides to cut cable. This should not be a problem, but Peggy’s life evolves around time. So much so that all her children can tell what she is doing at any given time during the day. We all know that bath water is running at 6am on the dot and that by 7:30pm Peggy would be in bed falling to sleep, lights are out by nine. Clockwork. One can also know what they are watching at any given time. Willis watches the History Channel, Military Channel and Science Channel. Peggy watches CBS, soap operas and court show and in the evening, game shows. So with limited channels to choose from Peggy is upset and decides speaking to him is not worth is again. So Willis gets the silent treatment again and Peggy sits again in her favorite chair watching the drama of her soap operas. Smirking.
