Prompt: When You Shouldn’t Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

“Mother, I know that you detest this topic and would rather let the sleeping dog lie, but I think it’s high time that this dog awoke and got out of bed!”

Mother stares at me, clearly unamused. Throwing dignity to the wind, I press on, “To prevent us from having any skeletons in the closet, I really think we must let the cat out of the bag. The people must know!”

She finally speaks. “Stacey. You still haven’t even told me what you’re talking about.”

I look at her, surprised. “Oh! I was talking about the elephant in the room.”
