Here's an excerpt from my contribution to this humor anthology...
SELECTIVE HEARING
by Lisa Logan
For years now an odd malady has run rampant at my house. I have dubbed it "Otitis Selectus," which roughly translates to "Selective Hearing Disorder." This ailment renders the victim incapable of hearing one particular type of sound: the harmonics of the female "mother" voice.
The disorder first struck my oldest daughter as I was attempting to separate the mesmerized tot from her morning cartoons. Standing behind the child, I declared "Time for school!"
Nothing. I repeated my announcement. Still no dice. Alarmed, I moved around to face the pigtailed tot. I was relieved to note that the round eyes blinked every few seconds, proof of some normal brain activity.
Bending over, I looked her square in the bright blues and enunciated clearly. "School time." She finally looked back!
A naïve councilman and a down-on-her-luck single mom try to save their countys last stand of forest from greedy developers and a dysfunctional government.
