I’m reading the original unexpurgated Moby Dick right now. When all else fails, ship off for four years (with no cell phone of course!) and leave your spouse in charge.

Lol! When I’m annoyed I tell my family, “That’s it! I’m going to Fiji.” Now, when my husband can’t find me and asks one of the kids where I’m at, they tell him I’ve gone to Fiji. 😋

A brilliant article, Amanda. When I saw the "need to be rewritten" my immediate thought was "Oh no, not more literary vandalism" , but it turned out to be a real treat! Very original.
