When the author was dumped by his longtime girlfriend, twenty-eight-year-old Justin Halpern found himself living at home with his seventy-three-year-old dad. Sam Halpern, who is "like Socrates, but angrier, and with worse hair," has never minced words, and when Justin moved back home, he began to record all the ridiculous things his dad said to him. Sounds like Sam would have made a hilarious grand of growing up. https://www.susannahharriswrites.com/sunday-short-stories/fancy-like monthly 0.5 2022-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612817de3c18e001862f2399/b5ec6409-7e08-4d68-b178-99a8b5582afb/IMG-0037.jpg Short Story - Fancy Like… - Make it stand out Want to be fancy like Applebee’s?
