Story 177: The Fritches

Mr. Fritch said to his son, "Apparently
Mitch, you don't care a stitch, about
finding your niche and becoming even

moderately rich. Your behavior is giving me
an anxious twitch.

"To get you a job, many times I have given a
boss a sales pitch. But as fast as you're

hired, you're fired. You get the itch. The
job has a hitch, you say. Then to another

job, you switch.

"Speaking of switch, when you were younger,
you should have gotten my switch. Then
today maybe you wouldn't be in such a ditch.

"You ought to go back to school Mitch, and

begin by learning to spell tricky words like
the pronoun which, a sandwich, and the

Wicked Old Witch."
